snickersnee
now that is one,
cute, little sounding word.
snickersnee,
snickersnee,
com'ere little,
snickersnee.
here little
snickersnee.
makes a right
fine
cute name.
but look it up,
*yes, of course *
like i had to do,
whadda think,
i know anything?
yeah right!
now let us turn to
SNICKERSNEE.....
i leave the rest of
this inquiry to you....
scrape, scrape
went the sharp blade,
the sound wafting,
through this
fresh, cool,
sweet,
morning air,
where the young
handsome
brave lad
was sharpening
his huge
snickersnees.
\SNIK-er-snee\
noun
1. a knife, especially one used as a weapon.
Quotes
The commander of the sloop was hurrying about and giving a world of orders, which were not very strictly attended to, one man being busy in lighting his pipe, and another in sharpening his snicker-snee.
-- Washington Irving, Bracebridge Hall, 1882
Origin
Snickersnee came to English in the late 1600s from the Dutch steken meaning "to stick" and snijden meaning "to cut."
