Sniglet: A word created by a very early 1980’s comedy show on HBO, by that comedian Rich Something, who you still see once in a while, and the words seemed so memorable at the time but turned out not to be, but at least Stewart Pankin got a couple movie roles, like uh, in Fatal Attraction.

David Perron
That was Rich Little.
The only sniglets that come to mind are:
flen: that black, crusty deposit around the mouth of a ketchup bottle.
doork: someone who unfailingly attempts to exit through the same door you’re trying to enter through. Or something.
