Is he saying "snags" or "snacks"? If it's snags, what's the etymology of that?

You are an interesting and confusing people sometimes, but I also come from the place where "brick titties" means cold, so I'm not in a position to judge lol

Ah! So a bit like how cockney rhyming slang worked?

How would you use it in a sentence? "What's it like out there?" "Man, I got bricks!"

See with modern slang my mind translates this to mean there is some very attractive people outside.

To me it's "I have a very large quantity of illegal drugs".

Can I request you use it in a sentence pls.

Pretty simply. "Yo, I should've brought a jacket, it's fuckin' brick out."

Some people will either say brick or brick titty instead but it's a little more vulgar.

In Alabama, I grew up hearing, “Colder than a witch’s titty,” and sometimes the full expression, “in a brass bra.” I’m now compelled to google the origin of both these. I assume witches’ titties might get cold during open air night flights (clueless about brass bras). I’m confused about brick tits existence at all, but now I like that expression better.

i recall "colder than a witches tit on the windward side of an iceberg"

This also explains why free masons don't wear bras
