snout

Interchangeable with "look" in the same way as "nose" is - i.e. "I'll have a look" or "I'll have a nose" or "I'll have a snout".

Typically used for food-related items but can be used anywhere "take a look" is appropriate. Obviously a slang term and not to be used in school work or in a professional capacity.

Have a snout at the menu, it's not bad.
I didn't know they made those too, I'll have a snout.

raps

Raps is a form of card game (most commonly combined with Poker or Blackjack) where the loser has to recieve a decided or random amount of hits on the knuckles from a deck of cards. Usually, the first to bleed wins.
Blackjack and Poker are the most common types, where the loser either picks a random card from the deck (and is administered that many blows) or is hit ("rapped") according to the factor of loss.

Let's play Poker for raps.
9 of Hearts. That's 9 raps.
