In a comment to angoel, I looked up for another word for the overflow in a sink/bath, and wikipedia lists porcelator, supposedly american. However, it's *not* in the dictionary.

Either it's a recent coinage, or someone spoofed it onto wikipedia, I can only imagine. But which? There were other hits, but maybe it was a *good* spoof. How do you tell? :) *Had* anyone heard it before?

A "sniglet," of course, is a word created because it "should be in the dictionary, but isn't."

So it's a recent coinage.
