Definitions part 2: snaggle

Snaggle is an abbreviation and adaptation of the english noun snag·gle·tooth
(= A tooth that is broken or not in alignment with the others). While a snaggletooth refers to only 1 tooth, snaggle refers mainly to snaggle "teeth," plural. Thus, a person having snaggle has an entire mouthful of snaggleteeth. Snaggle also varies in intensity, on a scale from snag (1 or a few snaggleteeth), to snaggle (full-on horrendous dentitional misalignment of a significant amount of the mouth). Of course there are a number of adjectives that can be used with both snag and snaggle, to indicate the severity of the condition. For example, "slight snag" may indicate only a minor misalignment, barely noticeable; "slight snaggle" being more severe than bad snag, but on the minor end of the snaggle end of the scale. "Terrible snag" would indicate that a few teeth are really out there, but not the entire mouth. Whereas "terrible snaggle" would indicate that the entire mouth is a jumbled mess of oddly-angled teeth, that one is pained to look at. Note also that snag or snaggle is only describing the alignment of teeth, not their color or other characteristics.
