They're not proper snoods you know.

Yet a snood by any other name is still a snood.

LG

But you wouldn't call it by another name. That would be daft.

Hair-net!

What's another word for 'synonym' or 'thesaurus'?

Zither.

See. Told you it was daft.

No, you are both wrong. The snood is a small rodent-like mammal that lives in and about the jungles of Costa Rica and only comes out when the sun is high in the sky, which is usually always. The snood has a snout as long as the equivalent of it's distant ancestor the anteater and it dines on various small insects. Dr. Seuss based his book, "Snoods Brood," on the snood and although it never reached the successful heights of "The Cat in the Hat" nor "Green Eggs and Ham" it did accomplish one feat. To introduce the Snood to the world.

We have Mennonite students who wear them (GIRLS of course).

I think they're worn in Fast Food Restaurants too.

From google:

A snood is historically a type of European female headgear, or in modern times a tubular neck scarf. In the most common form the headgear resembles a close-fitting hood worn over the back of the head. A tighter-mesh band may cover the forehead or crown, then run behind the ears and under the nape of the neck.

A sack of sorts dangles from this band, covering and containing the fall of long hair gathered at the back. A snood sometimes was made of solid fabric, but more often of loosely knitted yarn or other net-like material. Historically (and in some cultures still in use today) a small bag-netted, tatted, knitted, crocheted, or knotted (see macrame)-of fine thread, enclosed a bob of long hair on the back of the head or held it close to the nape.

Of course that is the European snood. But the Costa Rican snood is much, much different.

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if someone hasn't tried to capture a snood with a snood at some point in time.

P.S. LG, you've got daft down perfectly.

Scottish snoods are usually up to no good.

Charpa...do you mean I AM DAFT?
That's a compliment from where I come from

These Snoods are meant for protecting Food

- Rewritten and developed into a hit song by Nancy Sinatra

I heard a song once, sung by The Beatles,

Lucy In The Sky With Snoods

It didn't get far up 'the charts' though.

yes of course, I meant it as a compliment.

Personally I believe the world will not end with a snood but a whimple

I'd prefer a whimple. A proper Medieval one though.
