I love the creativity involved in the formation of these words. I think of myself as a creative person, but these put me to shame.

Love these! We were just talking about sniglets (I'd forgotten that great terminology) the other night, and I remembered some great ones I'd read on someone's blog--I'd forgotten it was your blog. And now there are new ones!!

Interesting words, Darla!

Obliviot is my favorite, too. Describes most of the general populace, I fear.

Ha! Pretty funny, Happy TT13!

I love Rich Hall's Sniglets! My all-time favorite is psychophobia -- the compulsion to look behind the shower curtain when using someone else's bathroom. :D Too bad the books went out of print -- they're hard to come by these days.
