Person 1: "One of the big problems with the Socialism VS Capitalism debate is that it almost always-like so many other debates; it devolves into debates over definitions. It’s tedious and unproductive, but it seems unavoidable at the same time."
A "Snitch" is a guy/girl who gets arrested by the cops, and then decides to give up info that can land another person/friend in lock-up. And as a result, the snitch is let go- - home free.
Usually, that motherfucker gets his/her ass beat up and put into the hospital, or stabbed up or shot.
A drug dealer gets caught by the cops, and the cops offer him a deal to be let off home free, so the motherfucker takes the deal and tells the cops about another dealer thats throwin dope around town, and then gets that other dealer arrested. A week later, Snitch gets jumped and put in the hospital.
Snitch rats on somebody again & ends up dead.
To indirectly tell secrets or offenses to a person of authority or any person meant to be kept away from a secret or offense, sometimes inadvertently.
If the telling of secrets or offenses is purposeful, minute details are usually left out as not to appear to be directly telling.
It is indirectly snitching.
"I see this offensive picture is still up. I recall other member's being banned for posting such a thing."
"I see this offensive picture is still up. I recall other member's being banned for posting such a thing."
This person is dry snitching on the person that posted the offensive picture. The person is not directly named (a minute detail) and a direct action is not actually being suggested.
"Stopdry snitching. You are going to get him banned"
A campaign that pushes the idea that any african-american who reports any crime whatsoever to the police is a traitor. Quite popular in the gangster rap scene. This has been very effective in reinforcing the racist stereotype that all black people are criminals.
Maybe instead of "Stop snitching", the motto should be "Stop committing crimes".
