I found my Sniglets book! Wow, guess I just never get rid of my books! Elbonics - the actions of two people maneuvering for one armrest in a movie theater. Expressholes - people who try to sneak more than the “eight items or less” into the express checkout line. Spagmumps - any of the millions of styrofoam wads that accompany mail-order items (I’ve always called them Spafoops) Yinkel - a person (man?) who combs his hair over his bald spot, hoping no one will notice. ## Let me know if I can find one for anyone out there. You can count the number of apples in one tree but never the number of trees in one apple. ---

We always called the styrofoam bits “nerdlies”. Don’t know who came up with it. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sniglets/6933.md?page=2)
