High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The verb snaffle is a British colloquialism. Born on the croquet lawns of Oxford, it was originally coined as a reference to a technically illegal double hit to put a ball through the hoop at close range from an angle that would not be possible with a normal shot. The word has since entered into the common lexicon to refer to a cheeky act: an act that, although technically politically incorrect or controversial, is endearing and acceptable. A snaffle is also a tale or a lie and a snaffler is a duplicitous con artist. The Oxford English Dictionary defines this latter use of the word as: verb "to illicitly take for oneself". That is, to pinch or nick, usually in a cheeky fashion.
