Snnnnnnooorrrttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[[b]]

I have a cold or the flu or I'm possibly the first victim of the viral attack against the US...either way I've been sick.

Just about 30 min ago I went to get some nyquil so that I can actually sleep tonight and not spend the whole evening tossing and turning.

Anyway, while I was there holding the package of NyQuil in my hands my nose starts dripping and running like it has been pretty much constantly since I got sick, and....SNNNNOOOORRRTTTT, I got the situation back in hand.

My boyfriend turns and asks if we should buy tissues because for him going SNNNOOOORRRRTTTTT!!!!!! is uncuth, whereas for me, I don't enjoy blowing snot into a thin tissue and usually ending up with the stuff stuck in my mustache.

Besides, if you SSNNNNNOOOOORRRTTTT!!! then you can go HUUUGGGHHHH THOOOHIIE and spit out a great glob of goo.

I also can't stand the sound of somebody blowing their nose. To me it's even more gross than trying to keep it in.

So, I guess my question is...Do you snort or blow? and why?

 

[Spirit]

BOTH! It depends where I am.. if I have a tissue..

 

[Ardsgaine]

I started to answer this, and then I realized you were just trying to trick me into say 'I blow.'

I tend not to snort, because I don't really like the stuff in my mouth, and there's not alway a good place to spit it. Sometimes it's unavoidable, but I try not to make a big noise about it, especially if people are around.

 

[Spirit]

oh ew... I don't snort it into my mouth!! I kinda do this little Princess *sniff*... you know... like how all Princesses do.

 

[Jeslek]

I blow. It is the only way to get that slimy stuff out.

Jerrek, while you're here, please go edit that text out of the BBTool thread. Its a nightmare...

I use the old "Double Barrel Snot Gun" method myself

 

[samcurry]

preferebly place index finger on one side of your nose and push it closed. take a deep breath and blow that baby for all its worth.
distance is graded. and be careful of passerbys
ok so i blow my nose into a kleenex, but that sounded much cooler.

Those are referred to in the trade as...snot rockets ...pretty handy if you have a snout full of dust.

I prefer the hark and launch method myself

 

[Nixy]

I gotta say I blow my nose. If I don't have a tissue I may do the princess sniffle thing but the only way to get full rid of it is to blow it.

 

[Aunty Em]

I blow - one thing I never got used to as a nurse on the chest ward was people gobbing into and having to check the sputum pots. The very thought makes me want to...

Excuse me... *rushes from room with hand over mouth*

 

[greenfreak]

I blow.

I do though, if I have tissues handy. I may sometimes sniffle a little unconciously but I always have really soft tissues when I'm sick. I have what I call a "sickie bag"... soft tissues, chapstick, halls, tea, thermometer.

 

[Vortex]

A---a-----AAAAAAA--- tissue

 

[Justintime]

I blow.
.

woot!

 

[greenfreak]

I blow.

woot!

"I blow" can also be a slang term. Meaning something like "I suck"

er...

nevermind.

 

[Justintime]

[greenfreak]

I'm so misunderstood.
