I can assure you the snips are the intentional or unintentional collection of sundry items found in the pockets, hats, jackets, lunch boxes etc of little boys. One recalls a CrackerJack advertisement in the '60s. A boy does not have quite enough money to pay for his coveted snack. He emties his pockets on to the grocery counter. The contents ranged from rocks to marbles to a yoyo to a whistle...that dear freinds, are *snips*. Angus (who at heart is likely still a little boy) ...now where did I put that puppy dog tail ;\ As an ex little boy.

Though I prefer 'slugs and snails' I had never heard Snips and snails before. Like “snippets” I guess :) makes sense. Though I prefer ‘slugs and snails’ I had never heard Snips and snails before.
