Wordsmith William Safire could have enough columns for the rest of the year if he focused just on food "sniglets," or food words that don't appear in the dictionary, but should. For example, at Tommy's barbecue, did you commit burgacide (bürg-ə-sīd)? (A hamburger's desperate act to leap to its death through grill holes.) Or, after that vending machine trip, are your fingers covered in cheedle (chee' dul)? (Residue on fingertips after consuming Cheetos.)
Bert Christensen's Truth & Humour Collection is chock full of made-up words that you really should try using in a sentence today. [via Epi-Log]
