Did you know?
Back when pirates were swashbuckling around the seven seas, someone who got into "steake or snye" was engaging in cut-and-thrust sword and dagger fighting. "Steake or snye," which came from a Dutch term meaning "to thrust or cut," was eventually modified into "snick or snee," but the meaning of the phrase remained the same. By around 1775, the phrase had been compressed into the single word "snickersnee," which was used both as a verb for the act of such fighting and as a noun naming the knife used in such clashes.

Если слушать рекламу, зная значение слова "Сникерсни" на английском, то получается: "Не тормозни - заруби и зарежь" :))
