Snood is also used to describe a fish hook which has a short length of line (snood) permanently attached. This is often thinner than the main line to make it less visible to the fish and also to allow a snagged hook to break away without losing a long length of the main line.

Hello Ian,
I hadn't thought of that definition of the word since my boyhood saltwater fishing days with my Dad & Grandpa.
Thanks for the mental nudge.

I thought a snood was also something that a Scotsman wears under his kilt

Snood is also a computer game that has you direct a shot of different pieces to match what is lined up in front of you. To be successful you must eliminate all of the pieces in each screen.
I think it is still available to try or purchase at http://www.snood.com

Snoods are also worn by dogs to protect the ears, usually show dogs. I have basset hounds and their ears droop into the food and water quite a bit. The show folks (and some others) use snoods to go over the dogs head and cover the ears as that reduces grooming and ear related problems.

Nothing is worn under the kilt.

It's all in perfect working order.

some would say that trews are worn under the kilt.

...unless of course pml was actually saying the same thing, 'snood' being a play on "[it']s nude"?

"There's nothing worn under the kilt; it's all brand new!"
