Snickers is a software like zoom but they are having a promotion of offering a snickers bar to each person who buys the premium version. The promotion is called a snickersnee (much like a promotion offering free tickets to a sports game is a sportsnee). |

a "snicker" is a type of laugh "nee" from the French nèe, means to be born So a snickersnee is a birth that brings snickers--for example when the child looks exactly like the next door neighbor and nothing like the supposed "father". Have a nice weekend, Douglas |

I am laughing... Thx to all!!! Go on, I want more... I was close to banning myself, spamming my own post. I wanted to subscribe to this entry so I could find it after, and I was going directly to click on "Report as spam" instead of clicking on "Subscribe to this thread" 🤣🤣😅 |

This word is more or less obsolete now. It�s an Old English word. That is, it was in use before the silent k was introduced to many English words in the 1980s to make English more difficult for foreigners to study. I do apologise if the word foreigner offends any sensibilities; such a ghastly word, but necessary at times. So, in modern English that word is snicker�s knee. A snicker is a person who attends church very frequently, twice on Sunday and once on Thursday. They therefore find themselves genuflecting all the time. Up and down every time they spy the altar or the vicar. The problem is when they genuflect, they doff the same knee every time and it gets inflamed. You have heard of tennis elbow? The snicker�s knee is a similar injury. |
