What is a "snap"?

A snap is a type of fastener used in clothing that consists of two interlocking discs that are attached to either side of a garment. One disc has a small protrusion, while the other has a small indentation that the protrusion fits into. The discs snap together when pressure is applied and can be released by pulling them apart. Snaps are often used in place of buttons or zippers and can be found on items such as jackets, shirts, and pants. They are usually made of metal or plastic and come in a variety of sizes and colors.
