 | Neko2 answers: Because my sausage always seems to snag on my tights. 3 years ago / reply |
 | Topaz2308 answers: In Australia and elsewhere snag has a number of meanings, including 'a submerged tree stump', 'an unexpected drawback', and more recently a 'sensitive new age guy'. But in Australia, a snag is also a 'sausage', a sense that probably comes from the British dialect word snag, 'a morsel, a light meal'. 3 years ago / reply |
 | xoloriib answers: It fits with Grimm's law of consonantal interchange as being related to the word snack and therefore has the same or a similar meaning. 3 years ago / reply |
