I do remember sniglets, though not the show or books. There is a commentator on one of the public radio shows who discusses language and has referred to them several times.

Being a heathen I made a comment about the “bouncing” Baptist preacher in Montgomery who should have moved to Birmingham if he was so obsessed with vulcanization. [For non-locals Birmingham, Alabama was a major steel town and has a regionally well known statue of Vulcan] For some reason, offense was taken at my remark.

“Malkintents…” heh. But I’m afraid “Malkinized” and “Malkinization” (later in Echidne’s same article) are too close to Jack Balkin’s longstanding blog name “Balkinization” to receive full credit… Balkin should get at least a nod for his prior art.
