ruzuzu commented on the word snooks
"Snooks is in reality Sevenoaks, in Kent, contracted into S'n-oaks, Snooks.
Snooks. An exclamation of incredulity; a Mrs. Harris. A person tells an incredible story, and the listener cries Snooks — gammon; or he replies It was Snooks — the host of the Chateau d'Espagne. This word 'snooks' is a corruption of Noakes or Nokes, the mythical party at one time employed by lawyers to help them in actions of ejectment."
