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.

Get the Like farmingmug. "Out Like A Light" is phrase used to expressed someone's state of sleep; usually exasperatingly tired and in complete deep sleep. It compares an individuals state to a light bulb going out and running its course for light display. If a lightbulb burns out, you can no longer use it. The phrase "Out Like A Light" exaggerates an individual or group's sleeping state through the comparison of a light bulb.
