To be honest, I'm not entirely sure about Smeetles. I first heard it from Xavier here (like so many things), and he (I rather wickedly assume) apparently got it from that
Flamish Gamepower TV program. Although, I have no idea about this program (primarily because I wasn't lucky enough to be one of the two people who viewed it), I suppose it would be possible, in a number of ways, that that was meant to be Meetle, not Smeetle. Nontheless, my job requires me to be ever-persistent, and this is a fine example.
Krikits are those green cockroaches you see over Oddworld. At least you used to see them - I believe there were a couple of the Forums' old banner, and there were plenty on the old Munch's Oddysee logo - which I have saved to my hard drive! Or at least I thought I had, but I've just checked.
Supremely (you're boosting my confidence),
