I was chatting on line today, and typed something like the following: Some may see it as snitful, but I don't really care.

There are only two googlits, but this seems to me like a really useful word for being in a snit.

Any comments?

I don't know TEd. To me, it sounds more like something that someone does while in a snit.

I would probably use it as "I've had a snitful". Probably because it reminds me of "gutsful".

Sorry, but "snootfull" always makes me think of something drawn by, as it happens, another Ted, Geissl.

I dunno, Ted; I think I have to go with the pretty bel on this. I think I'd be most likely to say something like, "That was a snitful comment", but, "I'm feeling snittish today".

A googlit is also a googolplex to the power of a googolplex:
