Indirectly telling an authority figure or interested person who might have been involved in the incident the authority figure or interested person is curious about. It's not "pointing the finger" but more or less telling them as if they already know or as if they are clue less.
On the phone with your "bro" while you're in jail and your "bro" says, "DUDE! I can't believe you did that! Remember that time when you shot that gun on 19th ave?" That is called DRY SNITCHING!

Get the Dry Snitching mug.When you get caught up by the authorities and they tell you that if you give up someones name you won't get in trouble, so you make someone up to save yours and your people's asses.
Example: smash unit comes to your house and ask to look around, you let them in forgetting u didn't put ur stash away, while they're looking they find it, but give you the option to tell them who u got it from and they'll let u go, so even tho u got it from u r homie down the street you make up some person and say u got it from them. It's like u r still snitching, but now the cops r gonna be looking for some imaginary person, leaving their case dry. Dry snitching
Example:
cops: "tell us where u got the dope from and we won't take u to jail today"
You:"uh, Idk his name, they call him j.r, I met up with him down the hill in blajblahblah city"
