Re: Snicklefritz
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.
