snood :

  • A type of hood or hairnet, worn by women over long hair, see Snood (headgear).
  • A net used by men to train their moustache into a desired shape and prevent it from getting in disarray while they are sleeping. Also known simply as a moustache net.
  • The flap of skin that hangs from a turkey's beak. Humans can sometimes develop this abnormality also.[citation needed]
  • The puzzle game, see Snood (video game).
  • A method of attaching bait to a trotline used to catch crabs, or to crab traps.
  • An enclosure, part of a Movie projector, between the dowser and the film gate.

I am assuming we are talking the first one - otherwise I am in the wrong era

I used to love blue lagoons - blue curacao, vodka, malibu and lemonade - and how cool did I look, until one night I looked in the mirror and noticed I had a very blue tongue - not attractive at all
