Sneetch
Language: English
Part of speech: noun

Forms: form: Sneetches
Senses: examples: text: For example (humor me here), suppose that the Sneetches networked all their computers and discovered that, although the Star-Bellied Sneetches' computers talked to each other frequently and the Plain-Bellied Sneetches' computers also talked to each other frequently, a Star-Bellied Sneetch computer rarely talked to a Plain-Bellied Sneetch computer. The Sneetches could use a bridge to partition the Sneetchnet into two networks: the Star-Bellied network and the Plain-Bellied network. The bridge would automatically learn which computers were on the Star-Bellied network and which were on the Plain-Bellied network, and forward messages from the Star-Bellied side to the Plain-Bellied side (and vice versa) only when necessary.

ref: 2009 November 29, “Parties Demand Salmond Holds Blog Smear Inquiry”, in BBC News, archived from the original on 02 Dec 2009:
text: The time could not be more crucial, with the referendum on Scottish independence only two years away, and fears emerging that the war of words between so-called ‘cybernats’ and ‘cyberbrits’ could distort or even stifle mainstream political discourse. Labour peer Lord Foulkes claims crediting for coining the term cybernat to describe Nationalists and supporters of independence who conduct rhetorical guerrilla warfare on Twitter, Facebook and the comment threads of newspaper websites. Rather than initiating discussions about policy or ideas, cybernats demonise those opposed to the SNP and independence and dismiss them as, inter alia, cowardly, unpatriotic, and even traitorous.

text: What's in a name? Hedge, Fedge, Living Fencerow, Fredge ... […] A tentative truce between British and American agricultural geographers over terminology was brokered when a young British landscape designer trained at Oxford tried to popularize the term fedge in her book High-Impact, Low-Carbon Gardening, which was simultaneously released on both sides of the pond. And yet the term has not gained much currency, so I will propose another, hopefully more memorable one. I suggest that we rally behind another syllogism, the fredge, which takes its f and r from fence and row, and the rest of its letters from hedge and edge.
