snook
Warm-water catch
Snook names several unrelated things.
A snook is a large game fish found in warm Atlantic and Caribbean waters, prized by anglers: We caught snook off the Florida coast.
To cock a snook is a chiefly British expression meaning to show open contempt or defiance, from a gesture of placing the thumb on the nose with fingers spread: She cocked a snook at convention.
