   We did the same with "snorker" in the eggy group, British slang for   
   sausage, perhaps archaic, circa year 2000.   
      
   Original question was, "Snorkers.......Good O" is a line said by whom   
   (actor) from which film?"  This opened the flood gates.   
      
   "Snow White and the Seven Snorkers."   
   "Gone With the Snorker"   
   "The Good, the Bad, and the Snorker"   
   "The Snorker Of the Baskerviles."   
   (Many others)   
      
   "Snorkers.......Good O"?
