This is all very interesting. One of my favorite cartoons is the one where Henry, the little chicken hawk, wants to catch a chicken. Foghorn Leghorn tells him that the dog is a chicken, and that he (Henry) doesn't want to catch Foghorn because Foghorn is a shnook, not a chicken. At the time I was choosing the name, Snooki from the Jersey Shore was all over the TV, so I made it Shnookie.

Love it! I don't know what Jersey Shore is, I really don't think you needed to worry too much-- most people here shun t.v. in favour of 'Chicken T.V.' lol

Yeah that one always amuses me, really? California ??? did they take a wrong turn somewhere ???? couldn't have been the climate that inspired the name.
