Adam Elms

Visually impaired creative living in Bristol navigating his mid-thirties with wild abandon (and poetry). Lover of hiking, wild swimming, the arts, choral singing, cake, wine, sarcasm, Sandi Toksvig, and good knitwear. Buys too many books.

snaffle, snoodle

These fanciful-sounding words have no definitive origin: They probably just sounded right to someone who was sauntering, which is what they both mean. An Oxford English Dictionary (OED) example from 1821 describes someone “soodling up and down the street.” Credits to Mark Peters.
