snaps
Breaks with sound
Snaps are quick, sharp sounds made by pressing thumb and finger together, or by anything that breaks or closes with a similar crack.
A snap fastener closes with a click.
In the plural, snaps is an informal word for photographs: Let me see the snaps from your trip.
As an exclamation, snaps expresses approval or congratulations, often with finger-snapping: Snaps for that comeback!
The card game snaps requires players to call out when matching cards appear.
