Need to find a word!

Let’s come up for a word that describes the spewing from nose and/or mouth all over the keyboard that results from the reading of something incredibly funny on the SDMB.

My nomination is snork.
snork. snorked. snorking.

A good word, but it would have more of a chance with the charm of irregularity, vis: snork, snorkled, asnorkling.

I thought of that, but I do believe that snorkling is already taken. :slight_smile:

How about snorple? Snorpled. Snorpling.

I’m thinking somthing that incorporates the laughing part, not just the spewing…
splaugh, splaughing and splaughed.

It’s hard to type to - lots of opportunity for misspelling, I like that!

In polite disagreement with Lost’s preferences, I think the word should be the keyboard equivalent of onomatopoeia. That is, it should represent the keys struck by the sputum in question. Therefore, I nominate mjkuy6b, which is what I got when I smashed my head down on the keyboard just then.

:smiley:

Oh, and that would be

I mjkuy6b
you mjkuy6b
he/she/it mjkuy6bs
we mjkuy6b
you mjkuy6b
they mjkuy6b

to mjkuy6b, mjkuy6bed, have mjkuy6bed, have been mjkuy6bing

pronunciation: just as it is spelled

Hijack

Snork eh? wasn't there a kid's TV show called the snorks? If I remember correctly, it was a big obvious ripoff of the smurfs and didn't last very long...

 *** **End Hijack** ***
Seriously though, how about *spiggle* sort of a combination spit and giggle?

Well, didn’t they spew out the top of their heads when they were happy and/or excited? Seems to fit. :slight_smile:

Splort…

I like spiggle. Just my $0.02.

Doesn’t spittake sufficiently cover the definition?

Gads, I remember seeing the last spittake Danny Thomas did, on the Letterman show. Macauley Culkin did the setup; a thing o’ beauty it were.

“Suddenly, slythe read something so funny it caused him to esnorkulate all over his keyboard.”

E-missives that cause this could be called e-snorks.

If there are synonyms, it would be easier to write a limerick about the subject.

[Which, y’all should be grateful to note, I will not attempt.]
