Trivia: What is a snickersnee?
A practical joke
A type of shoe
A skilled person
A sword
The correct answer is A sword
So why is this answer correct? : This word might sound cheerful, but it has a rather surprising definition. In the late 17th century, “snickersnee” meant to fight with knives. The term came from the Dutch “steken of snijdenn,” meaning “to cut.” In the 18th century, the word was used to describe large sword-like knives, akin to something that a collector would display proudly on their wall.
