Back in the late 70's there was a great show called Real People.  There was a segment on the show called Sniglets where people would send in their made up words.  A few of them that I remember are

Chwads (chwadz) - n. The small, disgusting wads of chewed gum commonly found beneath table and counter tops.

Ejoculation - n.The way a man's eyes behave when a man stares wildly at something of his interest (e.g. car, woman).

Kawashock (kah wah shahk') - n. Pulling into the last remaining parking spot only to discover a motorcycle there.


Anyone remember the show and what are some of the sniglets you remember?
