ummm isn't that called a cowl?

The snood looks too muslimy for the WSJ to be saying it could save Christmas. Why, it looks like it could fly that ladies face into a building at any moment.

Ummm. That's not a snood. That's a big floppy scarf.

THIS is a snood:



/so lunch ladies apparently are going to be fashion trendsetters?

ThatWomanFromMassachusetts: Ummm. That's not a snood. That's a big floppy scarf.

THIS is a snood:

I pretty much came here to say this. If you're going to make up a word for somme new item, you should make sure that that word is not already taken by a related item.

/wears snoods
//not a lunch lady

ThatWomanFromMassachusetts: THIS is a snood:

Yes.

Most of the people I know who wear them are religious women who wear solid ones and don't let their hair show.

Meaning, yes, they're popular in religious circles. Though there are more regular fashion ones around also.

A solid type snood:



Hides the hair, popular with the religious.

/pic hot like it must be under that thing

Does it come with a beak?

deadapostle: Does it come with a beak?

Not usually, but I'm thinking that could be AWESOME next Halloween...

I supposed it's better than a thneed.

The snood is not a new thing. It's been around for a long time.

My parents were swinging Mennonites, so I spent most of my youth moving from one Snoodist Colony to the next.

*ba dum pssh*

tip the veal, try your waitress.

yeah, that's brand new. I've never seen anything like it. Whoa, what a statement. I'm going to get one of those IMMEDIATELY.



Always in style. Always be prepared.

There once was a yong man named Halls,
who read Harper's Bazaar and McCall's.
He developed such passions
for chic women's fashions
that he knitted a snood for his balls.

Yeah, isn't a snood a hairnet?

Pretty good.Glad I'm not the only one who thought of that.

Perfect to wear while snoodling! (new window)

You want fries with that?

Well, it *is* a kick ass game.

That's not a snood, it's more of a wimple/cowl.

This is a snood:

The Icelander: I supposed it's better than a thneed.

Fark you! Everyone needs a Thneed. They're hand knit and awesome.

ALL BOW DONE BEFORE KNITTERS OF THNEEDS!!!

I SAID BOW, DAMN IT!

Stupid on so many levels:

1) missmarsha: ummm isn't that called a cowl?

2) kitryne: Yeah, isn't a snood a hairnet?

And to add to what's been said:

3) The article, at least, implies that the word is based on "half scarf, half hood," So I fail to see how the result has an "n" in it.

Doesn't "Snood" sound like something Jay would say in a Kevin Smith movie?

Snoodchy Boodchies!

And so the rise of the wackjob religious right resumes.

DjangoStonereaver: And so the rise of the wackjob religious right resumes.

What are you talking about?

...and the standard hoopy frood accessory.

kitryne: Yeah, isn't a snood a hairnet?

And a Snuggie is a robe.

...

Clearly, we're doing this ALL wrong.

/works on a way to re-engineer shawls for the masses

That's the first thing I thought of too. My brother was addicted to that game and he even bought a t-shirt with that blue snood thingy on it.

Ahhh_Ennui: Well, it *is* a kick ass game.

It's digital smack, is what it is.

Scarf + Hood = Snood?

Clearly, I suck at math.

In Arthurian legend, there is no clear indication that Excalibur was the sword in the stone since it was supposed to been created by the Lady of the Lake. However, a movie version (Merlin, 1996, starring Sam Neil) accounts for this by claiming Uther Pendragon first wielded Excalibur after Merlin received it from the Lady of the Lake and that Uther became unworthy of it. Merlin then forged it into stone and endowed it that only the true king of Britain could wield it. While this account seems very likely, it's not part of the actual legend. The same movie depicts the vision of the two dragons in the lake as Merlin's prophecy that Constantine's heirs would rise up against him and retake the throne from him rather than two actual dragons.

It's not the same sword in the Marvel Universe--Snood.

Fap!

For some reason "snood" makes me think of foreskin.

/shrug

So it's a hairnet. Lunch ladies have been at the height of fashion for decades and we never knew it.

Came here to reference the real Snood, deadapostle beat me to it. All the rest of you are way off track with this hairnet nonsense.

"Snood" was the first game I ever used a decompiler program on to change the look of all the Snoods.

It was my then fiancée favorite game, so I was playing around with the decompiler, changing the graphics, and once finished, I put it on her computer while she was at work.

It was a great laugh when she went to play that game and instead of seeing the regular Snood bits it was a bunch of naughty graphics.

Been waitin' since 1983 for this.

I thiugh I was going to be able to wear my "Game Over" shirt and not get strange looks.

42 years I went without hearing that word. Then today, twice: here and in the NYT Crossword Puzzle.

Meh, I hate skorts. Either wear a miniskirt, or...hell, just wear a miniskirt.

This thread's just full of pedantic fashion-forward fry cooks.

"Let me instruct you on the technical term for 'hair net'."

lol

not all snoods look like hair nets, some are solid fabric or lace.

I plan on gathering clothing items from dirt countries like this thing and starting my own company, "3rd World Fashions".

Personally, I think any fashion trend that emulates the costumes from Soylent Green is a move in the wrong direction.

/snood looks like a "hair placenta"
//and not in a good way

Q:Can the Snood save Christmas?

A:No!

The economy is thoroughly farked up and no one product can reduce that situation's effect on the Christmas buying season. Unless it's the RonCo Economic UnfarkerUpper, only $29.99 at Walmart, but I don't think they've RTM'ed that yet. So in short, that's a stupid question to ask, insert Billy Madison principal quote or picture here.

/Also I thought Christmas was about love and your fellow man and all that hoi palloi? Shouldn't it not need saving if it's not all about spending money?

Dear "Fashionistas".

Please kill yourselves.

People who Aren't Useless

Ok, so I never thought there would be a reason to share this on Fark but...
Years ago, I was walking around my RenFest. I stopped and looked at some snoods a shop was selling and the saleslady started questioning me about the one I was wearing. Apparently *she* had the sole snood concession for the Fair, and was deeply concerned someone else was also selling them...
And thus the phrase "lucrative snood concession" became an inside jode in my family.
I know- Cool story M'lady.
Also- not really a hairnet ala lunch ladies- much more decorative.

TFA: Can the Snood Save Christmas?

I don't know, but it would be really hilarious if a Jewish accessory did indeed save Christmas.

wait, wut?
