    Not sure of the etymology (?) Of the word, but to me it evokes say a small dogg that buzzes around your ankles and nips at your shoes, but in general use i think it is just a young person, despite the fact that it is almost exclsively pre-fixed with young, so by that rationale it just means person! Hmm now i am confused.

    Whipper snapper' is now a rather archaic term and, although you might hear it in black and white British films, those who are young and streetwise enough to actually be whipper snappers aren't likely to use it.
    I bought a whip from the back of comic book when I was a wee lad and the first time I tried to 'snap' it, it came back and flicked my ear lobe...a hero at the time was a TV cowboy named Lash Larue....you guessed it...didn't need a gun.
    No one actually used the word in my formative years it was used in black and white movies in the B category and it meant a kid with some behavioral problems and general disrespect for his elders.

    It is a known fact that a lot of whippersnappers used purple hones the other name for them was the Purple Gang.

    I don't know that there is an actual definition of the word. But, if you were to think of a young boy who is inexperienced with a bull whip. Then picture him snapping it without regard to adults in close proximity. That is the flavor of what is meant when an old timer calls an annoying little cuss a "young whippersnapper". I remember getting my first whip and all the less than gentle comments flying about my getting away from folks to play with it. That dang thing hurt until you figured out how to manipulate it. Then it was fun.
