Because the word smack was mean for the town and when he meant to say snack it screwed him up.
No. Snack can be a noun or a verb. But the noun is used as a noun adjunct with other nouns, as in snack time, snack tray, or snack food.

Asher would have been a poor instructor because he often mixes up his words and concepts, which would confuse Three. Additionally, Asher lacks the patience and clarity required to effectively teach Three the important topics in the community.
Asher was well-known in the community for un-precise language. For example, when Asher was a Three, he referred to a "snack" as a "smack". The children in the community received smacks as punishment for unacceptable behaviour, so Asher received a smack, because that is what he asked for.
In Jonas's first recollection of Asher, he confuses the words "snack" and "smack." This mix-up highlights Asher's playful nature and sets the tone for his character as someone who often struggles with language but maintains a lighthearted demeanor.
In the Community of that book, precise word usage is very important. We see this in the beginning, when Jonas struggles to figure out how he feels about the upcoming ceremony, finally settling on "apprehensive." Children are taught from an early age to only say things they truly mean. Asher says he wants a smack, so they smack him; this shows him that he should be careful what he asks for, and to be correct in his pronunciations and word usages. Though this example seems a little extreme, especially for a toddler just learning to talk, it illustrates a philosophy of their community. In another scene, we learn that Jonas was scolded for using the word "starving," when he really just meant "hungry." The community does not want its citizens to ever think they could starve; they are self-sufficient and so thoroughly organized that starvation has become an impossibility. But to be reminded of this, children are taught not to use that word. Later, when Jonas becomes the Receiver, he learns that most of the community misuses words, especially emotional words. He understands that only he and the Giver have ever felt any real, strong emotions; everyone else has only felt a faint glimmer of that. Their lives are so sheltered, so orderly, that they don't ever experience anything extreme enough for a true range of emotions. So really, even though the community strictly enforces correct word usage in some ways (the smack vs. snack issue), in other ways they gloss over it (emotions).
In "The Giver," when Asher was little, he mixed up the words "snack" and "smack" during the morning treat time, causing amusement among the community members. This mistake showed Asher's innocence and highlighted the strict language rules in their society.
Jonas learns the difference between "snack" and "smack" the hard way when he mistakenly mixes them up during a ceremony in the book "The Giver" by Lois Lowry. This mistake causes confusion and discomfort during the ceremony.
Yes, the Chief of Elders is a woman. We know this because the feminine pronoun "she" is used as she relates the story of Asher and his confusion with the words snack and smack.
