A dictionary for the moments ordinary words miss

Nick Kittle’s collection builds on the idea of a sniglet: a made-up word for something familiar that has no settled name. The entries pair original coinages—including “Motorwave,” “Grillbilly” and “Pre-grets”—with colorful, deliberately imperfect AI-generated images. Together, the words and illustrations turn everyday absurdities into material for playful observation, with language itself as the book’s organizing device. The concept traces back to Rich Hall’s 1980s coinage, while Kittle brings together words he says he has developed and collected over nearly two decades.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults who enjoy wordplay and humorous invented vocabulary
  • Readers interested in playful observations of everyday absurdities
  • Those curious about illustrated humor collections featuring AI-generated images

Book overview

In a world where everything is so serious, we need a little more sensible nonsense.

 

Sniglets Reloaded isn't just a book-it's a rebellion against boring language and locked up thinking. A Sniglet is "any word that should be in the dictionary, but isn't"-the perfect label for life's ridiculous moments we all share but could never quite name... until now.

 

Originally coined by comedian Rich Hall in the 1980s, Sniglets have been a not-so-secret weapon for author Nick Kittle for decades. He's used them to break the ice, flip perspective, and prove that one well-placed, completely made-up word can change the way we see the world.

 

Inside, you'll find a wild collection of original words he's been developing and collecting for nearly two decades, paired with colorful, gloriously imperfect, first-generation AI images. From "Motorwave" to "Grillbilly" to "Pre-grets," each page delivers a gut punch of light-hearted humor.

 

This isn't high-brow stuff friends, it's a playground for your brain, a place to poke fun at life's absurdities and maybe, just maybe, see life a little differently.

 

Nothing serious. Just the words you've been missing, finally put in their place.
