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%.
