Snicker what?

There are times I am sure I live under a rock. I’ve never tasted a snickerdoodles and had no concept of what kind of cookie it was, but it turns out I am not the only one as I found out Saturday night.

I put the question to the soccer team as we sat around post game chatting and eating birthday cake.

The Spanish guy says, “Is that a dog?” And it turns out it sort of is.

A Schnoodle is a combination of a Schnauzer and a Poodle. Both of these dogs are among the most popular dog breeds, so it’s no surprise that someone would combine them for the best of both worlds. The Schnauzer is energetic, loyal, and a little feisty. Often referred to as a Snickerdoodle.

Then the English guy says, “Is that a sex move?”

And the entire table erupted in laughter. Lots and lots of laughter. And NO one wanted to look that up on their phones but…. it turns out it’s mostly not.

Urban Dictionary states that Snickerdoodling is the act of thrusting your pelvis forward slowly whilst standing upright. Can be easily confused with a pelvic thrust, but it is usually done without the Snickerdoodler’s knowledge of the action.
Another dissimilarity is that when a person does a “Pelvic Thrust”, they plant their feet and drive their crotch in a violent motion. Snickerdoodling is more of a relaxing rocking motion, in which a person will switch from standing on their heels to rock forward onto their toes whilst committing the act.
This action, Snickerdoodling, is almost always triggered by a tasty food that the person consumes. Scientists speculate that this is because most tasty foods are bad for you, and the rocking motion of the slow pelvic thrust somehow eases the digestion of the said food. The most common food to trigger Snickerdoodling is the source of the act’s name, the Snickerdoodle.
The word originated in a High School in Northern California in 2005, witnesses to it’s creation claiming that it was a small group of Sophomores that were enjoying hot Snickerdoodles that one of them had prepared in a cooking class.
The act of Snickerdoodling is in no way vulgar and is considered a high praise to whom ever prepared the food that induces it.

Snickerdoodling
The act of baking and/or eating snicker doodles.
“We had a great time last night baking snickerdoodling. They tasted so great!”

Person 1: “And I was all like, Yeah and he was all…What the hell are you doing?”
Person 2: “…I guess I’m Snickerdoodling, didn’t really notice.”
Person 1: “Stop that.”
Person 2: “I can’t, this cookie is too damn good!”

So, it’s not quite what English guy thought, but no one looked it up (until I did for the blog poat), and the vein of the conversation continued. A husband said to his wife, innocently enough, “you’ve never made me snickerdoodles” and she replied “I’ve given them to you lots” and the English guy laughed and then we all caught on and the laughter roared again.

So much laughter over a cookie! It was really the icing on the cake. Well, no, the whipped cream was the icing on the cake, and that was in itself perfect. That someone went to all the trouble to bake (my favourite kind) of cake and ice it with whipped cream — well, that was the cat’s meow. Fortunately, no one sang happy birthday, but there were many toasts and much clinking of glasses. And then we got back to snickerdoodles.

Any guesses on who is the English guy🤣

Have I mixed enough metaphors? And now I bet you know a lot more about snickerdoodles than you did but maybe not. I asked my much older and wiser cousin (it’s a thing and if I don’t say it then she says it so I might as well) if she had a recipe for them and she said no. I checked at work and no one had a recipe and we have a lot of experienced bakers at work so… drumroll please. I think they aren’t a Canadian prairie thing. That is just a hypothesis based off of a small sampling of the population so help me out here.

I haven’t done a poll in ages so I am hoping that the techie side of this worked and that you will all play along with me. If it doesn’t work perhaps you’d be so lovely and kind to add a comment about your intimate relationship with snickerdoodles or if you also live under a rock.

And there you have it. Somewhat irrelevant funny post. Just because.
