Shap Snap

Shap Snap

The moment in a conversation when everything stops because it’s been so f*#%ed up that no one knows what’s going on anymore.

Also applies to repeated failed autocorrect attempts while texting.

Snap-Tap

When you haven't Snapchatted someone in a while and feel weird starting the conversation, so you send them an "accidental" typing notification hoping they'll send a message.
"Jake sent me a typing notification 20 minutes ago, must be Snap-Tapping me"

Snap Protection

A mental safeguard developed after repeated emotional stretching—especially in relationships marked by the Rubber Band Effect, where connection and distance cycle unpredictably. Snap protection is what forms when someone has been pulled back so many times they stop rebounding. It’s the internal system that prevents emotional whiplash, breakdowns, or reactive outbursts.
He used to chase every emotional rebound. Now he just observes and protects his peace. That’s snap protection.

Snap snatcher

A friend who is prone to start snapping/texting the person you have just started talking to. They start off by saying the person is their “bestie” in an innocent manner, but the situation can get to the point where it becomes a competition of “who can get the guy/girl/other first.”
I think I’ll just give up now. Kelly started talking to Caleb. She’s such a snap snatcher.
