'one shouldn't pick this small taxi' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both body parts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'small taxi' is the wordplay.
'small' becomes 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size).
'taxi' becomes 'cab' (synonyms).
's'+'cab'='SCAB'
