A common phrase in the early twentieth century meaning someone who is all over the place whether literally traveling or whose mind is scattered. (See P.G. Wodehouse and Dorothy L. Sayers works.) The saying comes from the bird of the same name which is a wading bird with a drumming display flight. The phrase “like a snipe” evolved over the next 100 years to mean any number of things that are sneaky i.e. long-range sharp shooters and/or girls on the make, or anyone who takes advantage of others in a either a mean or sneaky way.
Example: “You were dodging all over the States like a snipe and we couldn’t get at you.”—Bertie Wooster.

An uncommon American last name. Originated from the snipe fowl, a small bird that like many others migrate with the warmer weather. There is an actual season for hunting snipe. Also, a fun joke to play on your friends.
A small bird that is awkwardly portioned. Snipes usually get around most of their lives by walking, but can still fly surprisingly long distances.
