Witchy is referring to the following article in Cecil’s Mailbag: [http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/msnert.html](http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/msnert.html)

Please, read the article before making comments on it.

And Witchy, if you’d read the article, you’d see that you haven’t heard much. There’s lots of acronyms for “snert”, and probably they were all ex post facto.
