2. A slang term used to describe a person who is seen as being lazy or lacking energy.
Example: "Stop being such a snoop and get up to do something productive."
3. The stage name of American rapper Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., "Snoop Dogg," known for his smooth flow and slouch-like pronunciation.

A snood is a woman's head covering, similar to a net or a hairnet, worn to keep hair back or to disguise it. It was commonly worn in the 16th to 17th centuries.
