‘Tis only right you should quake before my … snickersnee?

The (Merriam-Webster) Word of the Day for February 24 is: snickersnee \SNIK-er-snee\ noun: a large knife

Wow. I bet you’d never have to brandish said snickersnee because the word would certainly strike terror in the heart of your enemy. I mean, it has both snicker and snee (snickers and nee?) in it. Them’s fightin’ words. Word has it there are some knights who are known to say nee.

As Crocodile Dundee would say, “That’s not a knife snickersnee; THAT’S a knife snickersnee!”

    I’ve heard it said that a pen (or keyboard) brandished by JAG is mightier than any snickersnee.

    “G-g-g-g-give me the snickersneeeeee…..pleeeeeeeeease”

    Hmmm…doesn’t quite sound right.

    “John Wayne Bobbit and Lorena Bobbit were an American couple, best known for a 1993 incident in which Lorena severed a portion of John’s wee-wee with a snickersnee.”

    That sounds about right.
