Text | In this podcast, the word "snag" means a minor or medium-sized problem, especially something that causes a problem or a delay, but that one probably will be able to find a solution for: "The engineers hit a snag when they couldn't find a way to keep the processor cool enough for the software to run." A "snag" is also part of a tree that can be seen above the water when the rest of the tree is hidden under the water: "Watch out for that snag, or it might tear a hole in your raft." The phrase "to snag" means for a piece of clothing to be caught on something that sticks out, usually stretching or ripping as a result: "Yolanda's dress snagged on the corner of the countertop and ripped." The verb "to snag" also informally means to get something: "How did you snag such a great deal?" |
