Etymology
Snipper-snapper is a playful rhyming phrase made from snip and snap, words that suggest a quick 'cut' or a quick 'sharp sound'. A helpful way to remember it is to think of someone who makes quick, cutting comments or small rude remarks, often a young, cheeky person, so snipper-snapper means a gossiping or rude person.
