(exclamatory phrase) a playful indication of surprise, misfortune, or insult
popularized by Tracy Morgan of Saturday Night Live, OH SNAP is seemingly derivative of oh no you didn'
t where an insulted person, for example a guest of Jerry Springer or often a spunky African American
woman contends the insult being made against him/her. While derivative of "oh no you di-int," OH
SNAP has more of an emphasis on playfulness and can be said by
people other than those being insulted.
