What is a "glimple?"

[justawench]

This typo (I was trying to type "glimpses") needs a definition. I think it's the light reflected off a dimple. Sort of a cross between glimmer and dimple.

Sounds like a sniglet ("Sniglets [snig'lit any word which doesn't appear in the dictionary, but should]" by Rich Hall.)

Examples (written from memory, so may not be precise):

Aquadextrous The ability to turn the hot and cold water taps on or off with one's toes while lounging in the bath

Carperpetuation: Picking up a piece of paper, thread, or lint after having ineffectually run over it multiple times, and then tossing it back down on the floor in order to give the vacuum cleaner one more chance.

Furnidents: the impressions left in the carpet by the legs of the furniture

Ignisecond: that brief instant of time during which as you slam the locked car door your brain is screaming, "Oh, NO! MY KEYS ARE IN THERE!"

And as you've created it, to you should go the honor or privilege of writing the definition of "Glimple." It deserves a place in the dictionary, too, even if it does not now or never will have one---officially.

I'll put it into my personal lexicon.

I totally forgot about Sniglets until you mentioned it! I used to have a book of them, long, long ago. :)
