What's in a name?
Okay, you caught us... we confess! Snooth is a made-up word. We like it because:
- It's unique and you won't forget it
- It sounds like a cross between sleuth and smooth
We're still looking for the ultimate definition of the word Snooth so that we can claim some heritage. Here's our current favorite:
- 1snooth noun
- | snüth | Middle English slouthe, or fr. Old Norse sloth, Old English smôth, or Old Saxon smôthi
- • Any of several burrowing mammals of family Talpidae with wide-set eyes and a pronounced snout, domesticated and trained to aid in locating wine in cellars.
- 2snooth; also snoothed; snoothing verb [ trans. ]
- • To seek out a preferable wine, as like a snooth : I say, snooth the wine list while I choose an appetizer.
- • To uncover details of a specific wine : Snooth this Chianti Classico for me, would you?
Of course, we're open to suggestions so if you have a better definition, please send it along!
