Have you found what a snitch is? And misdemeanor?

- A snitch is a nound used disapprovingly in slang. It refers to a person who tells people in authority when someone else does something bad. In British English "sneak" is used instead, e.g. You told Mrs. Brown that it was me who tipped the paint over, dind't you? - You nasty little snitch!

- Misdemeanor in Am or Misdemeanour in BE. A criminal offence that is less serious than a felony and generally punisheable by a fine, a jail term of up to a year, or both. For instance, Every week, as children, we were beaten for some minor misdemeanor.
