Steph Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Looking for nominations for world's best snottie! LOL From the Glossary of Marble Players' Terms: " SNOTTIE: noun. Familiar form of snot agate" " AGATE, SNOT: noun. An agate with a veined and clouded interior; considered very superior" The more realistic and disgusting they look the better, sounds like! (but pretty snotties may enter too. ;-) Um, I think this one deserves a Bart icon :Cartoon_177: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . snotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeager Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Don't know if this is a snottie or nottie. It seems to be hard to photograph for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted March 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 I still don't know if yours is an official type snottie, Joe, but it's one of the coolest contenders I've ever seen. No, Bo, it's not the fizz that makes it snottie. They wouldn't be cat's eyes. It's a very old term. From the 1920's? Before cat's eyes anyway. Pretty sure the "veined" part of the glossary description refers to swirl ribbons, as opposed to cat's eye vanes. I think of deveining shrimp when I imagine the veined part here. altogether gross anyway you cut it! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marboman Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 OK,let me try one more time I think I've got the idea.Bo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 EEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!! ROFLMAO I was really hoping (As I think Steph was....) that someone who REALLY knew snotties would dump in some pictures so that we could get a good idea!!! Since that doesn't seem to be happenin' as easily as hoped..... I think we've got some really good contender guesses!!!! That's gotta take the cake!!! ..... Or, the sleeve????

Kokoken Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 ............sure would like one of those pink or green transparent based examples to round out my collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted March 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 So I think Joe's would be a snottie. Anyone particularly agree or disagree? The primary source of snotties appears to be CAC, but is it the only source? I mean ... kids named it ... they wouldn't worry about who made it. only whether it looked booger-y. . . right? (lol) edit: not that I know who made Joe's, but it does look like it might have been from back in the time when kids might have called their marbles snotties ... yes?

I'llhavethat1 Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Here's a couple, I was really expecting to see more like these (which I've heard of as snotties before) Darn near impossible to get a picture and see the colors as they appear "in-hand", but I figured snotties and fingers kind of go together.

joeager Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 THat looks like something I would call a snottie. I am going to call mine one as well but I think they look snottie enough to both be snottie. I think I will display mine with tissues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kokoken Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 I have a couple of those with the ugly grey stuff in them like the above one and I consider them to be the ultimate snotty - like the result of a sinus infection or a bad case of chest congestion right before it turns to pneumonia.

marboman Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Well it looks like my snottie was just a runny nose,I did find one that could be snottie,it has what looks like some hair in it.It's probably too pretty to be snottie.Thanks for the lesson on snotties,I'll be looking at marbles in a new way now.Bo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
