If you ever want to stump a doctor, ask them this question

[P&R Fan]

We have had some pretty strange threads on here lately, and several of 'em are mine.
I'm just sittin' here having deep thoughts, as I try to wake up. So here's todays Strange Thread.

I always accompany Missus P&R Fan to her doctor visits and usually went for the kids too. One time I had a rather bizarre thought. (I know, you're shocked). Musta been cold season or something. I asked the doctor what the official medical term is for "Boogers". He had no idea. I have asked several since. They don't know!
If you're a med student and the test question is about boogers, I guess you have to call them that.
Anyway, ask your doc. I'll bet they don't know, or else they'll just make somethin' up.

I hope the use of the term "Boogers" will not run me afoul of Forum rules or some Government regulations. It got Dr. Johnny Fever in trouble on the radio.

Speaking of boogers....

Did you ever notice how scared people are of boogers?
I bet you could rob a bank with a booger.

Your doctor should have told you that there is no accepted or traditional medical term for "booger". A "booger" is simply dried mucus formed into clusters which sometimes feel like small rock formations in the nasal passages.

Snots right? As in snot locker?

A booger is a nose dingleberry.

Booger

That is why women wear that ring on the booger finger & thumb so they know when to stop digging & prevent brain damage

If you're English, I believe it's a bogey.

 

[Texas Star]

My allergist referred to nasal crusting.

 

[jimmib]

if you are mining wouldn't they be called a "nose nugget"????

 

[NCTexan]

Boogers are a place where they grow Christmas trees. We bring home a big ol' Booger every year.

Simple. Internal nasal incrustations, or nasal mucloid deposits.

Snack?




Come on. You know everybody's thinking it.

Actually snot is liquid booger precursor-when it is exposed to air and dust from the ordinary act of breathing, it begins the transformation to booger. It is not technically a booger until mined or otherwise separated from the nasal cavity. A "booger" seen in ones nose on the cusp of expulsion is still snot until expelled at which time it can correctly be referred to as a booger. Boogers are only expelled/mined from the nose. Snot that comes from the mouth is a lugi (or a HORRK!!.
Thus endeth the lesson.

There's way too many of you folks snowed in and have too much time on your hands.
