"Whipper snapper" nghĩa là gì?


"Whipper snapper" -> nghĩa là người cư xử nhâng nháo, xấc xược, trẻ trâu; hay được người lớn tuổi dùng để xúc phạm thế hệ trẻ. 

Ví dụ
When I was a young whipper snapper and everything was still fields (cánh đồng), Brunches were the holy grail of ice creams.

When I first met Dr. Webb, he was only about 80 years old--what some would call a young whipper snapper. He’s always had a great sense of humor (khiếu hài hước) and makes those around him laugh and feel at ease. 

There are those who have lived to the age of 84. I AM one of those. Thus, I am an expert on aging. What sixty-year-old whipper snapper is going to lecture me on aging? I must say that I am honored by the Maker that He has permitted me to make it thus far.

His incredible (ấn tượng) record is surely the envy (ghen tị) of many a boxer, with his sole defeat coming against a prime Floyd Mayweather while Canelo was still a young and raw whipper-snapper.
