SNIGLET SATURDAY

hozone

Today’s sniglet is:

HOZONE
(ho’ zohn)

n. The place where one sock in every laundry load disappears to.

I think there is a direct link between my dryer and the hozone.  Socks go in and inevitably one gets sucked straight out the vent and into oblivion.  I imagine that the milky way is actually made of missing socks.

riceroach

Today’s sniglet is:

RICEROACH
(rys’ rohch)

n. The burnt krispie in every bowl of Rice Krispies.

It never fails… I’m sitting in front of my computer, cereal bowl in hand, perusing facebook while shoveling spoonfuls into my face when mid-delivery I spot it out of the corner of my eye… a riceroach.  It startles me so that I set my bowl down and drop my spoon back into it.  Crap!  Now the riceroach has disappeared back into the milky depths.  I frantically push krispies aside trying to locate the burnt brown offender.  It’s no use.  I catch a glimpse and then it’s gone, scurrying to safety on the other side of my bowl.  The rest of breakfast is spent carefully examining every spoonful until the only bit remaining is the riceroach.
