Let’s Talk: Are You A Dry Snitch?

– blogged by @baetoven_

Let’s begin by defining the term “dry snitching.” #UrbanDictionary defines this phrase as “indirectly telling secrets or offenses to a person of authority or any person meant to be kept away from a secret or offense, sometimes inadvertently.”

There are often times where you have been a dry snitch without realizing what you said. If you are confused on whether or not you have dry snitched, then here are a few scenarios to determine if you’ve ever been a dry snitch. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If your homeboy has ever called you from jail and you brought up the time he shot a gun for fun in your neighborhood, congratulations. You’re a dry snitch. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If your best friend went on a date with a new guy after breaking up with her boyfriend and you gossiped to her ex about it, boom — dry snitch. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’ve ever got caught sneaking out and told your parents it wasn’t as bad as the time your sibling secretly went out with their friends, you, too, meet the criteria of a dry snitch. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’ve ever said something like “I didn’t know lunch was 2 hours” in front of your boss after your coworker came in late from their break, you’re also a dry snitch. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you thought your homeboy was cheating on his girl so the next time you saw her you casually said something like, “I saw him looking cozy the other night with some girl,” you my friend, are a dry snitch. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Although you don’t intend on dry snitching, it does happen here and there. It often slips out when you’re trying to be petty.

Now, we all like gossip occasionally, but dry snitching is downright compromising, betraying, and freaking annoying. Don’t be “that person” that no one wants to be around or tell their secrets to.
