Nose-Picking Glossary
The Kiddie Pick
When you're by yourself and you uninhibitedly
twist your forefinger into your nostril with childlike joy and
freedom. And the best part is, there's no time limit!
Camouflaged Kiddie Pick
When, in the presence of other people, you wrap
your forefinger in a tissue, then thrust it in deep and hold back
the smile.
Fake Nose Scratch
When you make believe you've got an itch but
you're really trolling the nostril edge for stray boogers.
Making A Meal Out Of It
You do it so furiously, and for so long, you're
probably entitled to dessert.
Surprise Pickings
When a sneeze or laugh causes snot to come
hurtling out of your nose, and you have to gracefully clean it
off your shirt.
Autopick
The kind you do in a car, when no one's
looking.
Pick Your Brains
Done in private, this is the one where your
finger goes in so far, it passes the septum.
Pick And Save
When you have to pick it quickly, just when
someone looks away, and then you pocket the snot so they don't
catch on to what you did.
Pick And Roll
No explanation needed.
Pick And Flick
Ditto.
Pick And Stick
You wanted it to be a "Pick and
Flick," but it stubbornly clings to your fingertip.
Paydirt
The kind where you remove a piece of snot so
big, it improves your breathing by 90%.
