sniggling

It was hard for me, and people were sort of sniggling and laughing at me, especially when the first record came out.

Then the nuns at the abbey hired us to catch eels — and we’ve been sniggling ever since.

For now, though, elver harvesters’ profits are in need of some sniggling.

"An accident, I hope?" with a little sniggling laugh.

Anglers may see an analogy between these British negotiations with the Dutch and the tardy and tantalising sport of sniggling for eels.
