"Religious preference?", asked the Corrections Officer.
"Snackism", replied the rather stout inmate who had a large smile on his face. The Officer looked up and could tell immediately this inmate was going to be transferred to another facility, one which would be more "Snackist" friendly. The inmates there would be allowed to consume as many individually wrapped, cream filled, and sugar coated sweets they pleased.
"We've got another one!" The Officer said angrily to another Officer as they loaded up a bus of other fellow "Snackists" to be transported to the other facility.

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
