What is a sniglet?

A "sniglet" is a word that isn't in the dictionary but should be. My example to the kids was phonesia- when you have made a phone call and as soon as the person picks up you forget who you were calling. After the kids came up with their "sniglet" we put them in alphabetical order just like they would be found in the dictionary.

Sammie's sniglet was sanitizerobia- the phobia of getting hand sanitizer in your eye or getting it someplace you'll never expect.
Josie's sniglet was laughomenoua- when you laugh too long and hard and your side hurts.
Casey's sniglet is elecway- when a high school student gets a bad grade and gets all electronics taken away.
Nathan's sniglet was mousold- a really old mosquito that has whiskers.
