snuffleupagus meaning and pronunciation

Debuting in 1971 on Sesame Street, Snuffleupagus was a woolly mammoth-like creature with long eyelashes. At first adults mistakenly believed he was Big Bird's imaginary friend because Snuffy shuffled off (presumably because he suddenly remembered he might have left the oven on) every time Big Bird left the scene to gather witnesses. In 1985 Big Bird finally proved that his shaggy friend was not a figment of his imagination.
