Reviving an old topic from long ago.
For those not familiar with the term (from the old HBO show, "Not Necessarily the News"), a "sniglet" is a word that isn't in the dictionary, but should be. What are some tennis sniglets that we can make up? Here are a few from before:
Drob: a drop shot that goes too high into the air.
Lowb: an attempted lob that is too low, allowing for an easy smash for the opponent.
PENNtagram: tennis ball logo tattoo that you get if you're at the net when your doubles partner hits a lowb.
Nutcord: when a male player miscalculates the height of the net while attempting to step over it.
<br />And a new one:
Andydextrous: a fawning announcer that is equally capable of kissing both of Roddick's butt cheeks.
