Snipes
Famous actor's name
Snipes is the plural of snipe, a wading bird with a long bill that probes mud for food.
The bird's erratic flight made it difficult to shoot, giving rise to the verb snipe—to shoot from a hidden position at individuals, or to make cutting remarks from safety: She sniped at him all through dinner.
A sniper is one who snipes.
In casual use, snipes can mean cigarette butts: He collected snipes from the ashtray.
