My IBM-360/370 assembly language class "project" was to build a SNOBOL 
compiler.  (It's not like I chose to do that, it was required of 
everyone...)

Well none of the above makes any sense to me except that I *know*
SNO-BOL is a toilet cleaner.
   

It's also an early 1960's programming language that focuses on
processing strings and doing pattern matching.  An early name for it
was SEXI (String EXtraction Interpreter).  One implementation was
called SPITBOL.
