ArchivesRe: Snicklefritz
in reply to a message by Tom
My Grandfather used to call me Snicklefritz when I was maybe 4 about 1951. His Parents were from Hiede Germany and spoke low German.
When I asked him what it meant he said it was a mischievous little boy that his Grandpa had to spank him.

As children, my wife and her sister were lovingly called Snicklefritz by their paternal Grandfather who had come directly from Germany. It is definitely not PA Dutch in origin.

I am 61, and female. My mom, from western Kansas, called me ‘Snicklefritz’ *all the time* when I was little. I loved it. She never called my brother that, only me.
