Line 15: A literary squib is usually witty or satirical. It can be similar to a [[Parody\|lampoon]], but does not need to parody a particular work. A linguistic squib is both a very short and a scholarly article. According to [[The Other Wiki]], "A squib may outline anomalous data but not suggest a solution, or develop a minor theoretical argument." Compare this sort of squib with a "snippet" (which is essentially a stand-alone footnote). == Squib (sports) == Line 25: * The foxlike species whose [[Planet of Hats\|hat]] is trading, from the ''[[Star Wars]]'' tabletop games * [[Squibs (1921 film)\|''Squibs'' (1921 film)]], starring [[Betty Balfour]] ** [[Squibs (1935 film)\|''Squibs'' (1935 film)]], a remake of the 1921 film, also starring Balfour * A Squab, which is a pigeon.
