snakes (snakus verislowus) are defined by their long slender bodies and extremely slow nature. Scientist recently proved that their sluggish speed is only matched by the even slower creature, the pig tailed mcouat (gaysexus mcouatus). Most species of snake can be found in their natural habitat, planes. And thats all anyone knows about the snakes.
"Yes, of course snakes are faster than mcouats."
noun: a term that was used in the 1950s and 1960s by gents on Skid Row for the delirium tremens, which are sometimes fatal. It probably referred to the illusion that things were moving when they were not and the feeling that your skin was crawling away. When a person feels the snakes coming on, it is time to let up a little, sip a little low test, white port and settle your nerves.
I don't know what was in that fuckin' rot gut we go into, but it gave me the fuckin' snakes for two fuckin' days.

SOMEONE PLEASE POST A DEFINITION SAYING WHAT "SNAKES" MEANS IN RAPS, LIKE PAPA ROACH'S "got a problem with the snakes that are crawling/ through my area when the darkness is falling" and in GRAVEDIGGAZ' "somebody oughta chop the heads off these snakes/ it'd be better off than dying in a pit full of snakes"
(and then delete this crap question cos its not a definition. but put the definition up first. and yeah, i tried looking on "snake" in the singular too, but it didn't say much relevant)
