Do boogers smell?

Asked by cordovanessa (83points) January 14th, 2009

they are always in your nose and you would be used to the way they smell if they do smell.

What an odd question!! Have you ever smelled any one’s nose to see if it smells different than yours? I have no idea why you’d want to, but you can get your answer that way. Wow, you’re making a grand entrance.. welcome to fluther.. I think….:P

no, dried nasal mucus (as bad as it sounds) does not have an odor, but i have heard great things about how they taste

Well large amounts of snot smells.
Like when you have a cold, you breath smells of kutar/katar/quatar/qutar (I don;t know how to spell it)
so I bet boogers do in large amounts.

Or if you have a nose piercing. As gross as it sounds, sometimes the inside portion of the nose-ring will get booger crusty stuff on it (kind of like the stuff on earrings for people with sensitive ears if they get irritated). It kind of smells, but you only notice it when you take the nose-ring out. I’m pretty sure it doesn’t smell to anyone else.. or at least no one has ever mentioned anything about it.

Isn’t booger the greatest word ever? There is nothing else like it. What else could that crap in your nose be? It can only be a booger. Scary sounding too. Boo like a ghost and Ger as in grrrrrrrr like an angry bear. I guess it’s like having an angry ghost bear in your nose. BOOGER! Say it loud and say it proud.

Sueanne, in spite of your glorious and descriptive analogy – still, yuck! But you get total lurve for “ghost bear in your nose!”.

Cage, what is “kutar/katar/quatar/qutar”? Just curious, thanks!

@BtB: I guess you probably don’t want to read my description of Fart then.

@bythebay: I know. It is gross. But.. I warned. Just don’t ever get your nose pierced I guess :)

@Sueanne_Tremendous: That is the BEST description of a booger ever. Whenever I blow my nose and there is a booger… I will now always think GRRRR angry ghost bear!

Catarrh is the word you’re looking for. It’s ever so gross. Enjoy.

Heh. I just realized that I pronounce it buh-garr. I wonder what accent that is.

@aprilsimnel: When I sound that out (buh-garr) I sound like a dirty French man. Made me giggle.

@aprilsimnel thanks.
Also it’s American. In England we call them bogies. Pronounced bow-g-eee

Thanks, April!

Does your nose smell…?

rojo's avatar

I do not know. When I have boogers I am usually stopped up and cannot smell anything.

And, yes booger is the greatest word ever.

LOOK! LOOK @Dutchess III I read the previous answers!
