“Why do Chabanicks call people from the Yeshiva world “snags”?
Isn’t that meant as a derogetory name?”
There are 2 reasons: 1) because they are openly a hate group. 2) because many of the baal teshuvish Lubavitchers unfortunately now think those are the official terms for non-Chassidim. The old guard in Chabad is very strict to never use terms like “Litvisher” or “yeshivish,” or anything non-offensive, so they simply aren’t aware of them.
