quicko: snag

A sausage.  As opposed, as my mother has reminded me, to a snag tree, which is American English for a dead tree.

Actually, a dead tree still standing upright, although it could also mean a break or tear in cloth, such as would be made by a splinter. Or, in the verb sense, to either get stuck or to catch or grab quickly. None of which has anything at all to do with sausages. It does lend itself to the clever thought of snagging a snag in a snag tree, though.
