Usage Note
Croc is pronounced without the final -c (KROH). It refers to an animal's fang or a meat hook in a butcher's shop. The plural crocs is used colloquially to mean 'teeth' in general. The compound croc-en-jambe ('trip, leg sweep') uses this word and means literally 'hook in the leg'.
Examples
"Le loup montrait ses crocs."
Natural Translation
