Sniggle

Sniggle

Sniggling is:
* A fishing technique for eels.
* A prankish act of social commentary, art, disruption, or protest; a politically subversive breaching experiment - see culture jamming.
* A word used to describe mirth or laughter, a mixture of "snort" and "giggle", most commonly used online or in text messaging.
* Sniggles are also a type of snack. They are a nutrisious snack of biscuits inside a packet that can fit into a kids lunchbox.
* Sniggling can also be a mixture of prolonged snuggling and giggling, often early in the morning or late at night. A sniggle is not to be confused with a sniglet, a form of humorous definition.
