A FEW NEW VISITORS
Wednesday, May 31, 2006
Just a quickie post since the Snipet is seeing a few welcomed new visitors. First, the Snipet does not moderate comments and we get some doozies! Periodically we post this: "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. Jack Mercer, therefore, defines "Snipets", as: brief, snide shots at exposed situations (not individuals--although sometimes this happens to) from a concealed vantage point. (Although as Jack ages Snipets become less brief). In short: thinly veiled (and sometimes overt) sarcasm, satire and mockery. Of course, we all know that the biggest laugh is Jack! In short, approach what you read on this site with an open mind and mirthful nature. Disagree or agree, anyone can become a News Sniper
