Snarge
The word for today is Snarge which I discovered in this article about planes and birds. Snarge is the remains of a bird after a collision with an airplane.
scientists have dubbed this bloody goo “snarge,” and it is usually all that is left when bird meets plane. Scientists are analyzing snarge DNA to track airplane bird strikes, with the hope of decreasing hazardous collisions.
A quick search of google only brought up 3,660 results (soon to be 3661). Most of the results appear to be for sites talking about this phenomenon, but a number of them are forums with users identity being snarge.
Interestingly enough a couple of results provided alternative definitions and a quick check of Merriam Webster brought up no results. From Word Central
Definition: to mess things up; to create difficulty
Word History: Invented, 2003.
Sample sentence: The dust storm snarged the windshield of the car.
Answers.com defines snarge as a person nobody likes; a total jerk
