The Indianapolis Monthly‘s Cara McDonald (writing in July 2004, no less, well after “Oh snap!” was in popular use) chose the former: Now if you’re interested in slang, you can take one of two positions. I’ve become more than a tad obsessed with these questions, but I have developed a working theory. Here again, we have two words that linger in popular culture well past their shelf life, a term that once populated the lingua franca of a minority subculture and that is now loosened from the lips of Caucasians who think they are in the know.īut where did “Oh snap!” came from? And why did it take two decades to establish itself prominently in mainstream culture? The phrase has seen more frequent use in mainstream media, and, in 2009, it is just about at the point where “My bad” was in 2004. This article concerns “Oh snap!” - that handy phrase which accompanies a moment of consternation or a dutiful dissing. And they both made their way into the American vernacular through hip-hop. But “Oh snap!” and “Don’t go there!” were clearly phrases that begged to be loosened into the English language. “Don’t go there!” But Snap kept on, and Freddie, afraid lest his pet dog be bitten, caught up a stone and threw it at the place. Is it possible that the 1910 children’s novel, The Bobbsey Twins at School, was a prescient influence on hip-hop?
