拗強、snappish adjective (ALSO snappy) “I just want to spend two or three hours with something,” rather than having everything be snappy, snappy, snappy.


And so now, again, to be in the middle of this snappy generation with a three-and-a-half hour movie that everybody’s talking about, I’m so curious to see how that looks in a few years’ time.


No matter how old you are, we are all addicted to TikTok and Facebook and social media and the fast scrolling of videos. Still, I think there must be a desire to just sit in a comfy chair and go, “I just want to spend two or three hours with something,” rather than having everything be snappy, snappy, snappy.
