Etymology of SNUBS
The word "snubs" originated from the Middle English verb "snibben", meaning "to check or rebuke sharply". This Middle English form is derived from the Old Norse word "snubba", which has a similar meaning. It is believed that the Old Norse term was adopted into Middle English during the Viking Age when the Norsemen settled in various parts of England. Over time, the verb "snibben" evolved into "snub", which now refers to a slight or deliberate act of ignoring or rejecting someone. In the plural form, "snubs" refers to multiple instances of such rejections or slights.
