Talk:snitch

Can find very little verification for the meaning of snitch as nose. But have found this poem on line, at [[1]]

There was a producer called Paul

Who around the studio did crawl

Where the dust gave his snitch

An intolerable itch

But what he scratched embarrassed us all.

Also found, at [[2]] and [[3]] 1811 Dictionary of the Vulgar tongue

TO SNITE. To wipe, or slap. Snite his snitch; wipe his nose, i.e. give him

a good knock.

I remember hearing the term snitch in Pinocchio (1940); I think Jiminy Cricket said it. Kalimi (talk) 21:15, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
