In Texas, we called them Goat Heads...........the older, big ones turn purple, and are about 3-4x this one below.
Whilst playing football, the coaches reserved a huge patch of the practice field which was covered in goat heads for either the entire team if we lost, or teammates who played poorly........missed tackles were a big, NO,NO!!!!!!!

<< <i>Doesn't 'schab' literally mean push? I suspect that it is refers to a pronounced contact hit or bump in the field of the coin. See the following auction on MA-Shops for a clue. >>
Schieben is to push.
Schabe is scrape or a type of bug (Kuechenschabe is a c@ck roach).
A severe scrape is a Schramme. Kratzer is a scratch.
Spur is track, lane or trace.
Yup, it refers to the scrape in front of her chin.

From my German Opa ......
Schaben is a verb and means to scrape.
Spur is a noun and means a track.
Thus a Schabspur could be a track left behind after someone has scraped something, say the track of a knife on a table or on a window pane etc.

Je$us Chri$t on a popsicle stick; isn't the "track left behind after someone has scraped something" called a SCRAPE? -Preussen
