Sniglets

Remember Sniglets? Words that aren't in the dictionary but should be. Rich Hall used to have these on tv in the 80s (70s?). We used to think they were so hilarious.

Aspitron: The tiny brain in an aspirin that tells it exactly what part of the afflicted body to go to.
Cheedle: The orange residue left on fingers after eating Cheetos or some other cheesy snack
Execuglide: The act of using your wheeled office chair to move from one place to another.
Funch: the act of turning one's pillow over continually in order to keep finding the cool side.
Furnidents: The indentations left in carpet after moving heavy furniture
Glackett: The ball inside a can of spray paint for stirring the contents inside the can.
Hozone: The place lost socks go during the laundry process.
Premblememblemation: Whenever you drop a letter in the mailbox, you always re-check to make sure it's gone down.
Pyramonster: That thing with one big eye on the back of a dollar bill.
Sniffleridge: The groove running between the nose and the mouth.
Somnambapologist: Person too polite to admit he was sleeping even when awakened at three in the morning.
Toastaphobia: The fear of sticking a fork in a toaster even when it's unplugged.
(Side Note: This fear does not apply to Pat Stream or Joey White)
Essoasso: Person who drives through a gas station to avoid a red light.
Garbpaction: The act of stomping the trash down in the can so as to avoid having to take it out.

I'm sure you remember more than this--or we can make up our own. Blogsniglets!
Here's my first one:
Crankrescindage: The act of leaving a nasty comment, regret after it's posted followed by said comment's quick deletion.

Come on--let's have some fun with words.

Sorry, but I don't know this guy. Neverheard of him...but is this one?

Crapazoid - what you wanna say when you wanna say something else but don't wanna say the real deal in fear of getting in trouble with your mom. Or maybe this is a shape that I never learned in geometry in high school.
