Definition of snarge

1 sense · 1 part of speech · etymology included

noun

  1. (slang, uncountable)The remains of a bird after it has collided with an airplane (in a bird strike), especially a turbine engine.
    “Arriving mostly in sealed plastic bags, these included birds’ feet, whole feathers or tiny bits of down, and pulverized bird guts, known as snarge.”
    “Snarge can be a wad of a Canada goose lodged inside an airplane engine. Or it can be a broken and burned gull feather littered along the runway. Snarge can even be as small as a rusty-red smear on the nose of an airliner. But no matter what form it takes, every bit of snarge is different — and all snarge is important.”
