It means that the sexual usage of "snowballing" is considered slang and not generally accepted as a formal definition. Slang terms come and go. If it persists, it will eventually end up as one possible definition. In the case of "snowballing", there isn't an existing formal definition that "snowballing" conflicts with. By contrast, there is already a definition of "cuckold" used as a sexual term that wife-watching and wife-sharing fetishists' usage of "cuckold" conflicts with.
reality shapes words, words do not shape reality.
What cuckold is in real life is what is happening, no one is looking it up in the dictionary to see if they are one.
Fetishes-which this certainly is- are part of a sexual subculture that is not part of the professors of the human language and defies being quantified in simple terms.
I'm not here to argue this, but what I am saying is there is a lot to life that is not in books and does not adhere to them.
I've experienced it with more than one couple, I know it. The guy editing Webster does not.
