However, my question concerns the word âsnipâ (plural âsnipsâ), as in the nursery rhyme, âSnips and snails and puppy dog tails, thatâs what little boys are made of.â The word came up as my husband and I were discussing our grandson (who is the pride and joy of both his father and grandfather).
Ram air. Ram air refers to the principle of using the airflow created by a moving object for power. The term may also refer to any of the following: Parafoils, also called ram air parachutes, non-rigid airfoils inflated by wind.
A ramekin (/ËrÃ¦mÉªkÉªn/, /ËrÃ¦mkÉªn/; also spelled ramequin) is a small glazed ceramic or glass bowl used for cooking and serving various dishes. The term is derived from French ramequin, originally a cheese- or meat-based dish baked in a small mold. The French term is derived from early modern Flemish rammeken, which translated to 'toast' or 'roasted minced meat', itself apparently from ram 'battering ram' + -kin 'diminutive', but it is unclear why.
