Don’t forget, Mike, snip can also mean “a saucy or impertinent girl”, which would bring an entirely new meaning to things.
Say Aussie, with this being the start of a New Year, any chance of seeing wedding pictures in my near future?
I’d tell you what I did for New Years, but I’m afraid it would put people to sleep – it did me.
P.S. I found this in an etymology link:
Snippy is 1727 with the meaning "parsimonious;" the sense of "fault-finding, sharp" is first recorded 1848.
