Sschles commented on the word snuzzle
A blend of snuggle and nuzzle. It is the act of snuggling and nuzzling with warmth, love and affection.
"Let's snuzzle up on the sofa and watch a movie."
I believe I coined this word. I certainly thought I made it up as a blend of snuggle and nuzzle and to my knowledge at the time, it was a new word. It could have been used by others as it seems a natural combination.
The word spread in Asheville, NC as I used it with my wife who is German and she used it in an English class not knowing it was a 'made up word.' The teacher asked for words that mean homey or comfortable and my wife suggested snuzzle. He loved the word and put it on the board and soon the story and the word spread in Asheville. This was 1996 and is the earliest reference to the word that I know.
