A green coiled snake. Means betrayer, two-faced, backstabber, disloyal. Reached internet-vocabulary peak during the 2016 Taylor Swift / Kim Kardashian / Kanye beef, when Swift's Instagram was brigaded with 🐍 emojis. The reading stuck. Now used whenever someone is being publicly called out for disloyalty — friend who slept with your ex, coworker who took credit, politician who flipped. Read with full hostility intended.

The undisputed champion of fake behavior — the person in any social circle who has elevated being two-faced into something almost impressive. A snake queen isn't just disloyal; she's strategic about it, running multiple narratives simultaneously with a smile on her face and receipts in her pocket. There's a dark grudging respect in the label: she's been snaking people so long and so successfully it's practically a skill set. You don't want her as an enemy, but you definitely can't trust her.
An L snake is someone whose two-faced scheming backfired spectacularly — a backstabber who tried to play both sides and ended up losing everything. Unlike a regular snake who might get away with it, the L snake gets caught, called out, and clowned on by the exact people they were trying to play. The double failure is the point: not only did they betray their crew, they weren't even good at it. If regular snakes are cold-blooded predators, L snakes are the ones that trip on their own tail.
(figurative) A person who acts deceitfully for personal or social gain; a treacherous person.
