A SNOT Recap When AFOLs speak of SNOT, we usually don’t mean the sticky green stuff dripping from kids’ noses into the play brick at a public exhibition.

If you hang around a group of AFOLs you will hear it used frequently: "I really like how you SNOTted that cliffside!" or "I’m thinking about building the ground with SNOT instead" are phrases you might hear. You might be grossed out at first, but then someone helpful will try to explain what SNOT entails. My name is Oscar Cederwall (sometimes I go by the name o0ger) and...
