Etymology: Lawrence Paros. The Erotic Tongue (1984): ' Snatch was an illicit or mercenary copulation (l7thC.) before it got its present meaning. It eventually teamed up with scratch (which had become " money " c. 1930); and together they produced the immortal couplet: " No scratch , no snatch! "' Quotes:
(1) Ronny Jackson (Bob Hope) to Carlotta Montay (Dorothy Lamour) in My Favorite Brunette (1947): ' A snatch job , hey? ' He's referring to a kidnapping but he's looking straight into Dot's eyes (without laughing).
(2)The Fool (Woody Allen) trying to open the Queen's (Lynn Redgrave) chastity-belt in "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex" *But Were Afraid to Ask* (1972): ' With most grievous dispatch I will open the latch and get to her snatch .'
