The term "whippersnapper" originated in the 17th century, likely from the combination of "whip" and "snap," referring to a young, inexperienced person who is presumptuous or overconfident. It was used to describe someone who is energetic but lacks maturity or experience. The exact geographical origin is not clear, but it is primarily associated with English-speaking cultures. Over time, the term has evolved and is often used in a lighthearted or teasing manner.
Like the crack of a whip, quick and painfully on the mark. Analogous to "Smart as a tack" or "Whipper snapper". Opposite of "dumb as a sack of hammers."
