/ˈsnɔp/
1. The combination of a "snap" (cracking/clicking
sound made with one's fingers) and a "thumbs up" (common hand gesture achieved by a closed fist held with the thumb extended upward). The snaup can be used as an expression of approval, more so than a thumbs up alone. It
may also be used to simply point out both the snazziness of the one performing the snaup, and the snazziness of the intended
target of the snaup.
"That
guy just combined a snap, a cracking slash clicking sound made with one's fingers, and a thumbs up, a common hand gesture achieved by a closed fist held with the thumb extended upward. That sure was a snaup."
"The cool kid in school gave me a snaup. That means I'm cool too, right?"
"Everyone in the audience was on their
feet snauping at the end of the
play, they sure did enjoy it."
"Whoa! That snazzy
guy just executed two snaups simultaneously, a double snaup!"
