Rubbish definitions:

  1. A sound made by a snake, cat, escaping steam, etc.
  2. An expression of disapproval made to sound like the noise of a snake.

#1 gives no indication of what it sounds like, #2 might be the same definition, just an example of what a hiss could mean. For example this hiss of a cat is an expression of disapproval, but it's in #1 not #2. Mglovesfun (talk) 09:43, 25 July 2012 (UTC)Reply
