    (exclamatory phrase) a playful indication of surprise, misfortune, or insult
    popularized by Tracy Morgan of Saturday Night Live, OH SNAP is seemingly derivative of [oh no you didnt] where an insulted person, for example a guest of Jerry Springer or often a spunky 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.
