Magniloquent
Thursday, March 31, 2005
Since the Snipet is all about straight shooting, the word of the day is: magniloquent \mag-NIL-uh-kwent\, adjective: Lofty or grandiose in speech or expression; using a high-flown style of discourse; bombastic. On the Snipet we try to avoid magniloquence.

"Snipet" (pronounced: snipe - it) is not a word.It is a derivative of two words: "Snipe" and "Snippet".


Miriam Webster defines Snipe as: to aim a carping or snide attack, or: to shoot at exposed individuals (as of an enemy's forces) from a usually concealed point of vantage.


Miriam Webster defines Snippet as: : a small part, piece, or thing; especially : a brief quotable passage.


In short, "Snipets" are brief, snide shots at exposed situations from a concealed vantage point.
