In slang, "sniped" can have a few different meanings depending on the context:
To steal or take something quickly – Often used when someone grabs something before others can (e.g., "He sniped the last ticket before I could buy it.").
To insult or roast someone sharply – If someone delivers a quick, clever, or harsh insult, they "sniped" the other person (e.g., "She sniped him with that comeback!").
To eliminate or take someone out unexpectedly – Comes from gaming (like Call of Duty), where "sniping" means taking a precise, long-range shot to kill an opponent (e.g., "I got sniped from across the map!").
To outbid someone at the last second – Common in auctions (especially online), where someone places a winning bid just before time runs out (e.g., "I was about to win the eBay auction, but someone sniped me.").
The exact meaning depends on the situation, but it usually involves something happening quickly, sneakily, or with precision.
