What does "oh snap" mean?

[luvfla]

"Hi My name is Elizabeth & I am a House junkie" "I will DVR episodes & watch 3 or 4 of them at a time. I usually wait until my husband go to work...I prefer to watch alone......."

[cheryl19]

OMG I'm a house junkie too. So glad to see that I'm not alone But I hope he and Cuddy don't get together. Maybe he and Cameron could have an affair ?? Or almost an affair.

Yeah, that's how it's used here too (northern PA).

Didn't Reese Witherspoon use the term snap in Legally Blond?? I've only seen that movie a time or two, but I'm not sure. Maybe it wasn't even snap. IDK! LOL!!

I've heard it used as a positive term - like, "She has a lot of snap" meaning she is sharp or on the ball.

LOL in Legally Blonde it was the "Bend and Snap!" It was that sexy bend over move to get a guys attention! That was a great scene!

LOL I've usually heard it/used it in a "Oh no you didnt" or "good comeback" sort of way.

I loooove House.

Basically Oh Snap is a generic term that could mean almost anything. It is up to each individual person hearing the term to determine it's context depending upon who used it, the tone of voice and the circumstances it was used.


Oh Snap!
