snaffle
I believe to be a word without synonyms. Perhaps I can snaffle a word of praise for it!

I can't imagine the etymology for this one. I have a subconscious association of this word with WW II radar.

Re: squelch
I should have mentioned one particular meaning for this word, which is noted in one of the dictionaries: the function in a radio receiver to mute the sound except when a signal (as opposed to noise/static) is being received.

I wanted to suggest this as a "Word of the Day" but was totally unable to figure out how! Dumb! (me, that is! ) )
