Dry snitching is a calculated but yet passive aggressive way to dime out your homeboy. In most cases to save your own ass without being the obvious rat bastard you are and save yourself from a fishing trip in your new concrete Nike’s.
You and your homeboy get pulled over
Cop: I smell marijuana step out of the car
Cop: who’s weed is this?
Homeboy: like a MF’n G says nuth’n
You: look at your homeboy and say “don’t worry fam I’ll put money on yo books”
Homeboy: (shaking head) you dry snitching Mufuka.

A technique of snitching by indirectly informing authority figures of another person's wrong doing, while not being associated with offense or obtaining any legal gain.

Indirectly telling an authority figure or interested person who might have been involved in the incident the authority figure or interested person is curious about. It's not "pointing the finger" but more or less telling them as if they already know or as if they are clue less.
On the phone with your "bro" while you're in jail and your "bro" says, "DUDE! I can't believe you did that! Remember that time when you shot that gun on 19th ave?" That is called DRY SNITCHING!

To explain how something works that, by nature, is not supposed to be explained but rather understood or experienced. A practice most commonly used in a number of rap lyrics. Basically tellin on yourself and others while trying to show out or look cool.
ex #1 "I can go to _______ and get you _______ for about $_______... but don't tell nobody."
ex #2- "If you got what I need then set it up. I don't wanna hear about. Don't tell me nothin except when you can get me what what I need and what you need in return because otherwise you are guilty of DRY SNITCHING!"

When you get caught up by the authorities and they tell you that if you give up someones name you won't get in trouble, so you make someone up to save yours and your people's asses.
Example: smash unit comes to your house and ask to look around, you let them in forgetting u didn't put ur stash away, while they're looking they find it, but give you the option to tell them who u got it from and they'll let u go, so even tho u got it from u r homie down the street you make up some person and say u got it from them. It's like u r still snitching, but now the cops r gonna be looking for some imaginary person, leaving their case dry. Dry snitching
Example:
cops: "tell us where u got the dope from and we won't take u to jail today"
You:"uh, Idk his name, they call him j.r, I met up with him down the hill in blajblahblah city"

Intentionally getting someone in trouble by outting something they've done wrong while trying to keep it sly.

Coworker to you: "I didn't know we had two hour lunches!"
You later: 😑
