Telling on, tattletale, or reporting something or someone in itself is not considered snitching.
It has to have a sense of betrayal to it in order to be considered snitching.
In other words.
Agreeing not to tell on, tattletale, or report something or someone but do it anyways.
For example.
A
Person, who is your friend, asks you to not tell anybody, especially his
wife, that he went to a strip club.
Then you tell that person that you will not say anything about it anybody, including his
wife.
Then you turn around and tell his
wife about it anyways.
That'
s considered snitching.

coin.
Person 2: Did you tell ??? about it, did you show it to ???
Person 1:
