Poke that nose, toke that finger: all you (never really) wanted to know about… Rhinotillexomania!


Ah… Rhinotillexomania. That noble and oftentimes neglected art, which from time immemorial has brought manking together in a single gesture, ripe with symbolism and drawn out with charismatic and meaningful pose – yup, you got it, I’m talking about nose-picking. Not just any old kind of nose-picking, mind you… but rather Habitual or obsessive nose-picking. Nothing short of that is worth of this title:

Rhino-tilexxo-mania

Rhino-tilexxo-mania

Why do people pick their nose, if not to engage a futile attempt to grasp the unknown? Why do we scour the nasal cavities – endlessly and tirelessly, as if something in there would somehow build up on our much-awaited, long-delayed eternal everlasting bliss? Is there some underlying sense of fulfillment that goes beyond the mere accumulation of mucus, that makes us go on?

learn from the best!

learn from the best!

What if a single word was forged that could express the lingering need for mankind to search – in a tactile sense – within its own empty spaces for a chance at redemption and undivided contempt. Would there be a better word than Rhinotillexomania? I think not. And since I know you’re not really paying attention to my yapping and all you care about is watching more funny pictures of famous nose-pickers from around the world, I’ll just plugin this gallery here and get on my way.

Excuse me, but… duty calls. I’ve got a nose to pick, myself: may countless mysteries unfold. If someone wishes to express his compliance with the Rhinotillexomania principle, feel free to send me your photos, and maybe I’ll consider writing a follow-up post sometime down the musky road.

“United, we’ll dig out the booger, man!” Stay tuned!
