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%.
