NEXT STOP - JUNK FOOD!
Monday, June 13, 2005
The State | 06/12/2005 | Women's political savvy vital to seat-belt victory: "Five women dubbed the "Safety Chicks" were behind last week's decision by Gov. Mark Sanford to let a tougher seat-belt bill pass. For two years, the Safety Chicks helped by an 70-year-old man they called the "Quarterback" who gave them their politically incorrect nickname � have worked quietly for a tougher seat-belt law. That law will allow police to ticket motorists for not wearing seat belts regardless of whether they committed another traffic offense. The Safety Chicks dogged lawmakers, working behind the scenes to win victories in the S.C. House and Senate." News Snipet note: Next stop for the Safety Chicks: 1. Junk food reform 2. Prohibition renewal 3. Mandatory flu vaccination

"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.
