I'm sorry. A "snood"?

What. What the fuck. I've never been more upset about a British word before.

Between this and the convo between Coady and Miller that the club put up last week, some decent PR happening around the edges.

I'd always assumed a snood was an American thing

 

[Alan]

Not one I've ever heard, although it is a big country.

Beanies or toboggans for that kind of hat over here.

 

[Keef]

I get the beanie hat, but what sort of weather warrants wearing a sledge on your head?

( I know this is a laugh at the American, because he gets confused about English words having other meanings to what he thinks, but hey, if you're setting the joke up, it's rude not to carry on)

A snood is a kind of scarf... Its a tube of wooly material that you slip over your head and wear round your neck

I know what I'm signing up for when I make comments like that.

Based on what Darlo has described, I think we would call that a "gaiter". Or just a neck warmer, honestly. No idea what the etymology of gaiter is and doubt most Americans have one, either.

 

[Tredman]

Yeah its a gaiter

Only worn by wankers/ jerk offs

I got one to wear as a mask at the gym. Slightly more comfortable.

But then, that doesn't really disprove your point.

 

[BillyDee]

Gaiters go round your ankles/shins..?

 

[Keef]

Gaiters are what hikers wear over their boots, to stop pebbles and similar from getting in their boots

Same tube-cloth concept, though, isn't it?

I thought those were puttees?

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Gaiters commonly used in many mechanical devices, cars for example.

I'd say more for snow or really muddy conditions....that's what I wear mine for anyway

Not heard putters before....but then I'm really old
