| I haven't heard the phrase "oh snap" since I was a kid. My kid just came home saying this (in a very snotty tone). Is it generally a rude phrase, or is it just grating on me because of how he's saying it? |
It's not rude at all. It's just slang for "Wow--I just remembered something important!" |
| Only appropriate if someone just got told. |
Finally, someone gets it. |
This, and can be said by both boys and girls. |
| This phrase is in the Trolls movie... not meant in a rude way in the movie, I don't think. Maybe that's where your child picked it up? |
| My 5yo is saying it too. No clue where she heard it. Trolls maybe? |
My child just asked why it's funny that they call Richard Grayson "Dick" in the orphanage. Thank you, Lego Batman movie! |
| I heard a lot in a netflix series and also seen it a lot when a Web page is broken. |
Uh, no it's not. "Oh snap" is equivalent to "ooooh, you just got burned!" or "that was an effective insult." |
| Also, you haven't heard it since you were a kid? Are you 15 years old then? |
|
| I think it's cute and funny. No, I wouldn't let my kids say it to another adult but this particular one isn't a hill I would die on. |
Uh, you're an obnoxious, know-it-all, douchebag to type "uh" before clarifying the definition (now go ahead and say "Oh snap!"). |
