snitched
Ratted someone out
Snitched is the past tense of snitch, meaning to inform on someone to an authority—telling a teacher, parent, or police about another's wrongdoing: She snitched on her brother for sneaking out.
The word carries strong disapproval, implying betrayal of trust or violation of an unwritten code against tattling.
Snitched also means stole something small: He snitched a cookie from the jar.
