The mass humiliation of a co-worker via e-mail by responding to everyone on the e-mail chain about how stupid the person is for sending out false information as fact, when he could have checked Snopes before wasting everyones time.

" I hope Eric gets Snope Dogged for sending this stupid crap out to everyone. There is no way that he thinks Bill Gates will pay him $267.890.02 for a Beta Test, or that the do not call list for cell phones is real"

Snope Slap

The act of disputing an email forward, by citing Snopes.com and then replying to all, thus proving the original sender failed to check the veracity of the claim.

I'm gonna snope slap my coworker who claims Obama wasn't born in Hawaii.

Snope-A-Dope

The mental gymnastics that Snopes.com does in order to tell you something is “unproven” or “false” . The claim might be true, but they will find any stipulation they can in order to make it “unproven” or “False” . This is usually attributed to their progressive bias.

Here’s a prime example of a Snope-A-Dope

Claim
Chelsea Wolfe, a freestyle BMX biker who is the first transgender woman to join the U.S. Olympic team, said on Facebook she hopes to win the competition so that she can “burn a U.S. flag on the podium.”

Context
Wolfe did not deny authoring the Facebook post when given the opportunity by Snopes and others, but neither did she confirm it. Although a screenshot of the alleged post exists, that post does not currently appear on Wolfe's Facebook page. Since we have no way to independently verify the authenticity of the screenshot, we rate this claim as "Unproven."
