son of sniglet?

So, as danny mentioned in his most recent post of his most-prolific blog, tit patrol played a most excellent show last night on paper mill rd--almost directly across the street from one of our previous epicenters of debauchery. he did a fine job of covering the night's acts, so i'll avoid redundancy by simply saying that without the kick-ass performances of The Impatients, Ba-durr!, Tragic Johnson, and the support of the raucus crowd, the evening could not have been as excellent as it was.

he did touch on one point, however, that i feel needs some expanding.

On HBO's 1980 series Not Necessarily News, comedian Rich Hall developed a bit in which he created new words to express situations which, although common, do not have words specific to themselves. He dubbed these "sniglets". I propose that there ought to be a word, a sniglet, if you will, to describe the feeling, nay the instinctual reaction, that accompanies being moshed upon by an obnoxious schlub when no other moshing is occuring. It is a feeling which Jason Mewes, while playing Jay, the popular movie character, very accurately exemplifies when he is tapped on the shoulder and, instinctively, spins around with his fist cocked--ready to smite the offender's stupid face. (i'll add here that though i am not generally a violent person, i do often feel like Daniel-San in the middle of The Karate Kid III when he fucks up that dude's nose because he has been brain washed by the tutelidge of the insidious Cobra-Kai. That's why i asked todd to hold onto my 40oz!)

that being said, i am asking my readers (i know who you are, all (maybe) four of you!) to please suggest some new words that we can use to describe this feeling! keep in mind it does not have to be restricted to the realm of moshing; that is simply the action which gave rise to my mission. any suprising confrontation that seems to demand swift and decisive action is fair game! might i suggest: debeardestration, geddoffamybackatizing, dejerkafying, or antibummeration. though most of those may be better applied to other situations. but, like i said, the ball is in your court!

p.s.-i know moshing, and outright fighting (shut the fuck up, alex), pretty much always rule, but please, moshers and fighters, be mindful of context and situation lest you be debeardestrated! if you have any questions about how to destroy a crowd appropriately, just ask my friends Tragic Johnson--they know what the fuck is up!
