Hi, Biko :)
snooping
1. The act of looking around in a hurried and urgent manner.
2. To pry into the private affairs of others, especially by prowling about:
Ex.The mother went snooping around her daughters room in search of her diary, when she came upon it in a secret drawer.
There is one more meaning....dont know, should i place it here or not... but, let it be, just for your information:
Snooping occurs in groups of people while smoking weed (marijuana)
. It's when you're taking more hits than you're supposed to, and playing it off like you haven't yet.
The term comes from how Snoop Dogg smokes weed.
Ex.: Spencer: David man, puff puff pass. Come on, hand me the blunt.
David: Man, what you talking about? I haven't even hit this shit yet.
Joey: Dude, you've hit that shit like 4 times already.
Spencer: Yea homie, stop snooping that shit.
:) So, that is all i could found... hope it will help.
