gibe

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'snide remark' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'a big reaction last time' is the wordplay.
'a big reaction' becomes 'gib' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'last' suggests the final letters.
The final letter of 'time' is 'e'.
'gib'+'e'='GIBE'

'got' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gibe that I've seen before include "Barb, dig" , "Dig, or a barbed comment" , "Scoff (at) - taunt" , "Hurtful remark" , "A jeering remark" .)
