"Sniglet" isn't in the dictionary
We were suprised to find (logical difficulties notwithstanding) that the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary (which is also available on CD-ROM for computers) doesn't contain the word "sniglet."
Our favorite sniglet is prndl, which coincidentally is a transportation related term.
