shoot the snake

Practice of exposing an erect penis (boner) in order to startle an unsuspecting person. Quite often used as a put down when done to an unpopular male or a male from outside your own social group. The implication is the recipient of the snake enjoys seeing other guys' boners. Shooting the snake can also be used to break up dull parties when someone has too much to drink and goes around showing his bone to party guests. May result in being punched in the nose or kicked in the nads. Use with Caution!
