I think the more modern terms are,
“Air-Hanky”

or my favorite, the

“Snot Rocket”

FYI.

By the way, how about those dudes who use real hankerchiefs. Blow away and then tuck that sucker back into your pocket. Ewww.

Uh, don’t ask me how I know, but that finger, nostril thing… It’s called a snot rocket, and you usually don’t have to cut ‘em with a fork like a piece of spaghetti… the hope behind that move is for flight, not tether.

Just adds a bit more “weight” to your observations. Sorry you had to witness that man.

I carry the grande size waterless cleanser in the car so that AFTER I buy snot-tinged vegetables–even before I get them home to run them through HazMat/quarantine–I can disinfect my hands after having touched anything this oblivious bird flu ambassador and snotfingers like him may have drooled on or coughed on or dribbled on or touched with their hot little stubby bird flu-y fingers.

I used to go with a guy who was a Snot Farmer. Of course, you never find out about the really gross stuff until after you hand over a key to your apartment. The relationship didn’t last long after that, and I steam cleaned my shower in celebration of its demise.

The Bowery Blow

Excellent.

The Bowery Blow — what a great name. I learned that technique from my fellow long-distance runners, who do all manner of disgusting things in competition. For example, pissing your pants is considered an appropriate response to a full bladder when running a marathon. I prefer to take a power leak before the starting gun. And do wash your hands.
