A vivid Scottish word for talking back rudely, giving lip, or dishing out verbal abuse. As a verb, to snash is to speak with insolence or impudence — the kind of sharp-tongued cheek that earns you a disapproving look from an elder. As a noun, snash means the abuse or guff itself: 'I won't take any more of your snash.' It's a punchy, satisfying word that captures the crackle of a confrontational exchange without needing anything more explicit.
The teacher warned him she wasn't going to put up with any more snash during class.
