Scissors that grew up, got serious, and started chewing through sheet metal for breakfast.
means Short-bladed hand shears built to cut sheet metal, tin, and other thin sheets too tough for ordinary scissors.
from From "snip," a verb that surfaced in English in the 1500s, likely echoing the quick, clipped sound of a cut — the same sound-mimicking instinct behind "snap" and "clip." It's probably borrowed from or related to Low German or Dutch "snippen," to cut small. Over time the noun "snips" came to name the tool that does the snipping, with the plural mirroring the two-bladed "scissors" and "shears."
