Blast from the past: Sniglets
I’m reminded today of Sniglets. I grew up in the 1980s watching lots of HBO, so Rich Hall’s little segments from Not Necessarily the News occupy a special place in some dark corner of my cerebrum. I can still remember to this day:
- flen - the yucky stuff that accumulates under the cap of a ketchup bottle.
- accello-yellow - someone who speeds up when they see a yellow traffic light
I just thought of a sniglet of my own. It’s a term for when you spend a couple of hours writing fancy little bash functions that do really specialized things that are fun but perhaps of questionable use.
I call this: “bashturbation”.
