Tongue Tied: "Suffer the Doggies An Australian parade committee wont let a woman march in a local Anzac Day parade with her German Shepherds because the dogs have a bad reputation, according to the ABC. Annette Batchelor wants to march in Hobart�s annual parade wearing her grandparents' medals, along with her two shepherds to honor dog handlers and their animals. But the parade committee says nein. Its members claim that because the breed was used to patrol prisoner-of-war camps, former POWs along with people from other cultures -- may be offended."

"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.
