So, snoodling - anyone have an idea about what this is? You’re setting a disagreement between my husband and I. And yes I know there’s an entry in Urban Dictionary - I want to know if anyone knows what this is either because they do it, or all their friends do or whatever. ---

I think it is one of two things. Either it has something to do with catching fish by hand or two guys rubbing their dicks together. ETA: Can I Google it now? ---

Upon reading the title, I thought it was a schnauzer/poodle mix. But then I saw you use it as a verb and thought it was a cross between [snogging](http://www.thefreedictionary.com/snogging)/[canoodling](http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/canoodle). But, honestly, I’ve never heard the term before. ---

A snoodle is a snickerdoodle with a hole in the middle. 😃 ---

Snoodles: aka John D. Hackensacker III, played by Rudy Vallee in “The Palm Beach Story,” one of the funniest movies ever made, and which had a Wienie King long before Ferris Bueller had a Sausage King. ---

My immediate reaction upon reading the thread title was “Snoodle Noodles!” When I was a kid my family referred to instant ramen noodles as “snoodle noodles”. I thought for years this was just a family in-joke based on something one of us had said when we were little, but I asked my mother and she said that was the name of a type of instant ramen that we’d eaten when we lived in Japan when I was really young. A quick Google turns up an Urban Dictionary entry where “snoodle noodle” or “schnoodle noodle” means something disgusting, but I also established that there is indeed a kind of instant ramen known as “Snoodle” (“Snoopy” plus “noodle”) that has a picture of Charlie Brown’s dog Snoopy on the package. Once I read the actual OP, my reaction was basically the same as this: > [@Alley\_Dweller](#): > > Upon reading the title, I thought it was a schnauzer/poodle mix. But then I saw you use it as a verb and thought it was a cross between [snogging](http://www.thefreedictionary.com/snogging)/[canoodling](http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/canoodle). But, honestly, I’ve never heard the term before. …only I’m thinking “snuggle” plus “canoodle”. ---

So it’s not a poodle-cross, then? ---

My thought also was “schnauzer/poodle cross”… another of the embarassing breed names. If it’s not that, I don’t know what it is. ---

Without looking at other answers, I would assume it is one of those BS names for mutts like labradoodle. ---

So, according to hubby it’s a well known word for when two men - one cut, one not, get together and pull the foreskin of the uncut guy over the erect glans of the cut guy. I called bullshit and said that was a stupid made up thing that no one ever did or would have any idea about. So, I put it to you, the good people of the SDMB. I think the results are a bit inconclusive though. However, based on the responses I think if I say to my little boy ‘Come snoodle with Mummy’ no one I actually know is going to think anything nasty.
