Someone who is /for/ the budgetary cuts proposed by the current British government.
Given that scissors have become a symbol of
the cuts, the word 'snip' is a natural definition of someone who supports what it epitomises. It is also
monosyllabic, as well as being
homophonic and alliterative with its antonym, the 'sic', someone who is against the cuts.
Student #1: I've had it with these
snips here. Don't they see what they're sayin-
Student #2: Oi - I'm a snip mate.
Student #1: What?! All this time I thought you were a
sic!
Student #2: I was, but I
changed my mind.
