to greatly purge something
Originally a hand gesture, the act of breaking something and the sharp cracking noise occurring from both. However, it has come to be a slang for purging something due to the main villain of
Avengers Infinity War,
Thanos, purging half of the universe with the
Infinity Gauntlet and
Infinity Stones with a snap.
During World War II,
Nazi leader and dictator
Adolf Hitler snapped over 6 million
Jews and many others due to the Holocaust.
John: Dude, you should get Red Dead Redemption 2. It's such an awesome game!
Joe: Sorry, I can't. My computer is full so I gotta snap most of the junk on it.
