Question

It must be an American intarwebs thing, but WTF does "Oh, snap!" mean? It just makes whoever says it sound dreadfully effete, like a Blood Doll donor to some excruciatingly camp OTT Daeva.

I won't use the phrase till I get its etymology: and even then, once I'm aware of whence it comes, I'm sure I'll dig up some worthy alternatives.

Besides, by the time I start using it the phrase will have already descended to the level of cliche, like one of Bruce Forsyth's worn-out old catchphrases.
