A sniglet is defined as "any word that doesn't appear in the dictionary, but should". The term was coined by writer/actor/comedian Rich Hall, who first created a series of Sniglets while he was a performer on the 1980s HBO comedy series Not Necessarily the News. Each episode of the monthly series featured a regular segment on Sniglets by Hall. Hall's own sniglets along with submissions by fans were compiled into several books, starting with Sniglets and More Sniglets.While the concept of creating silly words to describe unlabeled things or concepts is not unique to Hall and goes back further, "Sniglets" specifically are the creation of Rich Hall.

"The Modified MyPyramid for Older Adults still emphasizes nutrient-dense foods and the importance of fluid balance but now provides more guidance about the types of foods that best meet the unique needs of older adults and places added emphasis on physical activity."
