I found nothing related to anything even remotely similar to this word. I suspect this is a phrase your father coined. Regards; tutuzdad-ga |

Hi healthysmiler, Sounds like it may be a young lad's play on the word "pimpernel", as in "The Scarlet Pimpernel" by Baroness Orczy. You'll find an etext version of it here: http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/People/rgs/scarp-table.html Just a thought, hummer |

My late father-in-law sometimes referred to people who annoyed him as "pimplesnivelers." I wonder if "pimplesnerd" might be a variant of this. |
