Schnibble

a mythical creature in boozookian legend that is rumored to create peace and prosperity in times of dire need. a mutant messiah, if you will.

this is a major plot point of the 1994 french computer game ‘the bizarre adventures of woodruff and the schnibble of azimuth’, which approximately 14 people have played and only 8 have finished.

alternately, it can be used as an insult, which, in the -real world-, is pretty much the only usage of the word that won’t make people question your sanity…..maybe.
one day, the schnibble will arrive, and free us from oppression…
