      You cannot 'tell' someone, and then declare 'oh snap', much like you cannot give yourself a high five. Your flowchart does not incorporate this logic.

      e a olson just told you! Oh snap!

      The chart doesn't specifically state who's going to be "oh snap"-ing. It just says that if someone gets told, he/she/it deserves to be "oh snap"ed at.

      I hate to ask this (shows my old fogey-dom) but to what does this refer? The only time I've heard Oh Snap! is on My Name Is Earl.

    21. t e m p n a m e (70 months ago | reply)

      Old fogey translation guide:

      Substitute "told off" for "told" and "tell them off" for "tell them."

      The resulting translation may not encompass all possible subtleties, nuances and various contexts through which one may be told, but it provides the general idea for the oh-snap-impaired.

      Works for me.

      I prefer to accompany the "Oh Snap" with a move I call "The Hunchback Is About to Sneeze". Try it!

      I just keep coming back to this! It's mysteriously potent. Just thinking of it during a meeting will get me giggling inappropriately.

      yes.to i ask you with jasmine,did you complete it?

    32. alice_zero (64 months ago | reply)

      my personal interpretation has always been as follows:

      "did someone get told?" = you are currently observing a subject with regards to their state of being told. what is that state?
      "No -> tell them" = if when finding that the subject is in a state of not having been told, it now becomes your responsibility to tell them. Once this is accomplished, return to start.
      "Yes -> oh snap!" = if when finding that the subject has indeed been told, you are welcome to engage in the reaction of "Oh Snap!". whether the telling came from you or not, does not matter.

      it seems to cover all the bases.

      Is Oh Snap an american expression? I've not heard it in the UK.

      I believe the expression is indeed of American origin. The phrase really broke into the vernacular in 1989, when rapper Biz Markie included it in the hit song "Just a Friend." The lyrics describe a scene wherein the protagonist walks in on his girlfriend kissing another man:

      "So I came to her room and opened the door /
      Oh, snap! guess what I saw?"

      In this example, Biz has actually 'oh snapped' himself, thus illustrating the flexibility of this delightful phrase. I hope you'll soon find a means to work it into conversation on your side of the pond.

      I believe that this is taken from Elizabeth Sampat of It's Complicated. dissolutegames.wordpress.com/tag/its-complica ted/

      She writes funny games.

    49. Sparkicus (19 months ago | reply)

      I have had this same argument, inspired by a brit friend of mine who's still getting to know american idioms. She "snapped herself" and we i laughed my ass off. I said "you can't snap yourself!" Then, a week later, I saw this picture and realized the loophole was in there. She CAN snap herself. As a matter of fact, logic DICTATES that she snap herself. That's the way I see it anyway.
