hairpins
Sharp mountain turns
Hairpins are U-shaped pins used to hold hair in place, typically made of wire or plastic.
The shape gives rise to figurative uses: a hairpin turn or hairpin curve is a road bend so sharp it doubles back on itself.
As a verb, to hairpin is to make such a sharp reversal: The trail hairpins up the mountain.
