RHINOTILLEXOMANIA!
NO! it isn't the name of your long lost ancestor if you're reading this and if it did sound familiar.
Rhinotillexomania is simply defined as an obsessive-compulsive-disorder (OCD) where you can't stop picking your nose in search for snacks and hidden treasures (cendol in the local Malaysian slang). Here are some interesting facts if you love to just dig that nose of yours:
2) There is a popular saying in English speaking countries that go somewhat like this "You can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your friends nose." Get it?!
3) Frank Zappa wrote the song "Let's Make the Water Turn Black" and guess what that was about? It was about his acquaintance who habitually saved his own mucus on the pane of his bedroom window. Here you have a new hobby in the making. Any takers?
Here's a myth that you've might have heard. If you dig your nose too much, your sense of smell would be affected, like badly. Actually that's a myth and a complete myth.
Ironically, some of us love to dig our nose whenever we get the change to right? But we're also ashamed of it whenever someone gives us that
eeeeeeeyyyyyeeerrr (a local Malaysian expression for yuck!) stare and jeer!
And if you're annoyed by a rhinotillexomaniac, be a good Malaysian and please tell he/she/it that "you're nose picking habits are obvious yo!"
Are you a Rhinotillexomaniac?
