    • 1988, Vera Crouch Erickson, Ampersandia: this and that and other things:
      The temperature was below freezing. Maybe that's why I snoze and coughed so much. I have snozen all day.
    • 1884, The Cambridge review, page 330:
      Similarly of sneezes. Why has all the world agreed to laugh at the victims of sternutation. That it has is undeniable. Think of the epitaph — "SNOZEN TO DEATH."
