Sniglets - An Exercise in Thinking, Creating, & Defining

Sniglet...what a great little word that didn't even have meaning until recent years. We have words created all of the time in the English language as we progress with new technologies that have no names and names that must be created. Thinking about my own professional experiences, I have come up with three to share!

Freakabout: This is a word created for when your alarm does not go off and you only have 30 minutes to shower, get ready for, and be at work when your drive is 20 minutes or more.

Whyweariness: Ever had a student ask you over and over again for directions once you have explained them in every way possible that you can think of? Well, this word can be used for that situation as you describe the incident for your colleagues!


Caffless: For many teachers, mornings must start with one thing: COFFEE! However, on those days when you have not had time to make it or have run out of the necessary items to make it in your classroom, there is no singular word to explain your situation. There is now!
