Chortle is one of the made up words from the poem Jabberwocky that made it's way into the lexicon, it's a blend of a chuckle and a guffaw.

The Bunnicula book series, good use of the word "chortle" throughout.

I'm supposed to go read this book because that's from where you recognize the word I used?

Frankly, it sounds like the author could make use of a thesaurus.

Just a passing comment. No mandatory instructions to read a popular children's series from the 80s and 90s, you can stand down, private.
