The mass humiliation of a co-worker via e-mail by responding to everyone on the e-mail chain about how stupid the person is for sending out false information as fact, when he could have checked Snopes before wasting everyones time.
" I hope Eric gets Snope Dogged for sending this stupid crap out to everyone. There is no way that he thinks Bill Gates will pay him $267.890.02 for a Beta Test, or that the do not call list for cell phones is real"

The act of disputing an email forward, by citing Snopes.com and then replying to all, thus proving the original sender failed to check the veracity of the claim.

The mental gymnastics that Snopes.com does in order to tell you something is “unproven” or “false” . The claim might be true, but they will find any stipulation they can in order to make it “unproven” or “False” . This is usually attributed to their progressive bias.
Here’s a prime example of a Snope-A-Dope
Claim
Chelsea Wolfe, a freestyle BMX biker who is the first transgender woman to join the U.S. Olympic team, said on Facebook she hopes to win the competition so that she can “burn a U.S. flag on the podium.”
Context
Wolfe did not deny authoring the Facebook post when given the opportunity by Snopes and others, but neither did she confirm it. Although a screenshot of the alleged post exists, that post does not currently appear on Wolfe's Facebook page. Since we have no way to independently verify the authenticity of the screenshot, we rate this claim as "Unproven."

An allegedly humorous declaration one might use in response to being questioned as to the accuracy of their information and/or its source. It is a reference to the phrase don't tase me, bro, as well as the snopes website.
Don't believe everything you read on Snopes, bro...especially if it's about the activities of the CIA, the events of 9/11 or any sexually perverted acts performed by the band 311; they really do rape babies while wearing horse masks. However, if you are trying to discover the truth behind some ridiculous urban legend, such as Rod Stewart drinking gallons of semen or Richard Gere taking a panicky trip to the ER after shoving gerbils up his booty hole, snopes can actually be a semi-decent reference tool. Remember: the less important the information you seek, the less likely snopes will lie to you about it.

Person A
Have you heard why people in the ghetto wear their pants hanging halfway down their asscracks? It started in men's prisons, you see, the 'bitches' use this fashion statement to signal that they are available for getting their a-holes harpooned! (contemptuous laughter)
Isn't that FUNNY?
Person B
That's not true,
Person A
don't Snopes me, bro!
Person B
(ignoring the outburst) ....although the sagging pants fashion trend did originate in prison. In US correctional facilities, inmates of both genders are often issued pants which are too big for them. Since belts are not allowed, they spend every standing moment 'hitching' their pants back up by hand or either letting them drop. Sexual orientation has nothing to do with it.
