I’m sorry, there are images in this tag that do not belong…humans are not snorgleable, just furry, scaly, feathery things…babies, girlfriends, husbands, all just right out…animals only!!
Lisa — now that *is* an interesting thought. Esp. since the Flikr search kinda illustrates that the general internet public doesn’t really know the true meaning & usage of the word.
Maybe I’m unclear on the concept….but this includes pics of furries by themselves — doesn’t it take at least 2 to snorgle? Can you snorgle if there’s nobody snorgling you?
“Can you snorgle if there’s nobody snorgling you?”
mebbe. in some the pictures linked, the critter seems to be obviously waiting/hoping for a snorgle. we could imagine that snorgling is about to take place as soon as the photographer puts the camera down…
Absolutely, mariser, the Snorgle Potential is always a very important concept in each picture. How snorglable is the subject? How much of the subject is snorglable. Is the snorgling going to be reciprocated?
Re: Wiki entry for “Snorgle” (or anything else in the CO Glossary)
I just tried to create an account on both Wikipedia and Wiktionary (which is probably more appropriate anyway)… and it told me my account was created, but when I try to log in, it tells me my account does not exist. “Baroo?”
So. If I try again in a few days and still can’t get it to work, then pooscoop ‘em. We’ve got a Glossary here already.

Wow, Lauri… I guess it never occurred to me that the Glossary links might be Googled directly (as in, through good ol’ Google.com, not through the CO Sizzearch box).
I also like how you can get to HRH Squeak’s limerick about Numo, from two different natural results.

The word quickly morphed into the one we know and love, though I noticed that Meg recently gave it another twist: “snorglé.” w00t to that (and Meg!), too.
W00t indeed.

Huh. If it has fur, you can snorgle it, says I.
Ahhhh… Take a look at page 1 of this search (Meg linked to page 2): http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=snorgle&s=int

What hath Meg wrought?
I like the humans snorgling. It’s nice to see happy humans as much as it’s lovely to see cute animals…
OOH! Fiona Trixiebell Applesauce! What a cutie!
Love the baby sandwich snorgle and the self-labeled “big dumb oaf” and his kitten.
I loved Midas and his detailed snorgling instructions!
ms. E to the C,

Nibbles is adorabubble! an oreo bunneh!

Isn’t it about time for a Wikipedia entry for “snorgle”?
Lisa — now that *is* an interesting thought. Esp. since the Flikr search kinda illustrates that the general internet public doesn’t really know the true meaning & usage of the word.
Lisa theo,
Think I’ll send the glossary to the OED if its on the internet then think CO should be credited with coining it
Dewi
Woohoo! Great ideas, guys!
Hey, why no entry yet? Chop chop! (snaps fingers)
Maybe I’m unclear on the concept….but this includes pics of furries by themselves — doesn’t it take at least 2 to snorgle? Can you snorgle if there’s nobody snorgling you?
dustb sez,
“Can you snorgle if there’s nobody snorgling you?”
mebbe. in some the pictures linked, the critter seems to be obviously waiting/hoping for a snorgle. we could imagine that snorgling is about to take place as soon as the photographer puts the camera down…
Okay, I couldn’t help plugging in another favorite. It’s not quite as “pure” but fine examples abound. Examples of what, you ask? ummm…..baroo?
http://flickr.com/search/?q=baroo&w=all
and while I agree this is an aminals-only kind of thing, this one has giggle power:

Absolutely, mariser, the Snorgle Potential is always a very important concept in each picture. How snorglable is the subject? How much of the subject is snorglable. Is the snorgling going to be reciprocated?
Hahahaha, baroo has become another favorite word.

ahhh, Teho seeems to be around, and since it’s right there in your name, maybe you can help ‘splain the “teh” factor. Why is teh cuter than the?
Oh, it’s not necessarily cuter. It’s just more like teh internets.
It’s a whole gnu langwadge!

Googling snorgle brings up 13,300 hits – the first one links to the CO glossary.
We need more to take over the world, people! More snorgle!
Ooh, now *this* is interesting. Somebody’s been seeding the Urban Dictionary. They even referenced CO).

Who is this “Snorgles”? Who? Whooo??
And get THIS!
http://www.snorgle.com/
thank you for posting the link. i was about to bite the bullet and just ask what snorgle actually means. now i can pretend i’ve known for years.
OK, elena, I believe *this* was the first time “snorgle” was used here, but in a slightly shorter form:
http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/2006/03/the_mr_snuggles.html
The word quickly morphed into the one we know and love, though I noticed that Meg recently gave it another twist: “snorglé.” w00t to that (and Meg!), too.
Her’s a link to the original “snorg” image:

[hee]
AWWWWWWWWWW they’re really cute!!
But we didn’t see any dachshunds! Nothing is more cuddly and loveable than a good ole Weiner Dog!
Omg…I, too, “hee’d” EC. That is the perfect snorgle.
And, the snorgle.com….oh man, that baby is SO SO SO cute. With his little snorglin’ schnozzle.
misscrisp,”( catten Ruble looks askance at odd vocalization from pwner)”
I lurve it.
EC – By the time Mr. Snuggles laid down his phat beats, “Snorgle” was already in common enough usage to warrant the contraction “snorg” (see pic #3).
I think this *might* be the earliest appearance of “snorgle” in a CO post:
