Got told (to ‘tell’ someone): when someone makes a passing comment, innocent or otherwise, and you think up something underminingly insultive to say about them in response to it, you are considered to have “told” that person. At this point, depending on the volume and masculinity of the audience, the gay guy in the back will traditionally say, “oh Snap!”

Hope this makes more sense now.

next time make up your own graph. and do it right.

Agreed. There should be two arrows down and an arrow from right to left.

Granted, you should be able to figure this graph out without them, but since when is hosting at such a premium that we can’t afford pointy things at the end of our lines?

From the flickr flowchart comments:

I prefer to accompany the “Oh Snap” with a move I call “The Hunchback Is About to Sneeze”. Try it!

I have three responses. Pick your fave. 1. Oh snap! should be said when some chick walks by with the niceness. 2. Oh snap! should only be said by a Beastie Boy. 3. This graph should be moved to failblog.

I actually laughed, repeat or not.

I don’t get why people questiont the graph… It’s not that hard to understand if you’re educated… above a 5th grader’s intellect.

“get told”? What the heck does that mean? We have to stop changing the slang rules. I’m getting to old to keep up.

And why do you feel the need to alienate yourself by being a douchebag?

And for the record, no one here has really used “Oh Snap!” like this for several years. I’m sure they don’t have slang in your country (sarcasm), but terms and meanings come and go in the U.S. (and every other country in the world, including yours).

Pretty sure I’ve never heard Snap! used that way. Snap is one of the Rice Krispies guys.

I just use it randomly.

I didn’t know it was for when someone “got told.” Seriously wtf?

Since when did Snap! mean anything other than a reference to the Victorian card game where matching cards had children yell “SNAP!”?
For generations, the word Snap! has been used to mean “hey, we match”, or “hey we are alike” or “me too!”
Why do Americans feel the need to alter words and change things that further alienate themselves from rest of the English speaking world?
I still don’t understand what they’ve done to Snap! …and neither does the rest of the world.

Graph is in error, it seems to suggest that “Oh Snap” leads to “tell them” instead of the other way around.

So GraphJam is just ripping off stuff that’s been done before? I won’t link lest it be taken as spam, but google “oh snap flowchart.” It’s this, but not a ripoff, and done better.
