Hi

As a noun, it means an unexpected problem

It can be used in very simple circumstances:

- I'll be with you soon but the snag is, my train has been cancelled

Or it can be used for quite big difficulties, such as in this link:

Thank you for your reply.
Do you use ' He snaged my idea' by meaning that he stole my idea.

messier42Do you use ' He snagged my idea' by meaning that he stole my idea.
I wouldn't. I understand it, but it does not seem to me to carry quite the same meaning.

By the way, can I say like this? Her purse zipper was caught on my bag. In the same way ' snag' and 'hook onto'
