OH SNAP

(exclamatory phrase) a playful indication of surprise, misfortune, or insult

popularized by tracy morgan of sat-rday night live, oh snap is seemingly derivative of oh no you didn’t where an insulted person, for example a guest of jerry springer or often a sp-nky african american woman contends the insult being made against him/her. while derivative of “oh no you di-int,” oh snap has more of an emphasis on playfulness and can be said by people other than those being insulted.
