Snitch
意味: Someone who informs authorities about others' activities. A tattletale or informant.
In AAVE and street culture, a snitch is someone who betrays trust by reporting others to the police, school administrators, or any authority figure. 'Snitches get stitches' is a common warning against informing. While the term has serious origins, it's now also used lightheartedly about minor tattling.
