nose bleed

Boxer's facial injury

A nosebleed is bleeding from the nose, usually caused by dry air, injury, or nose-picking.

The two-word form nose bleed appears in compound adjectives: nosebleed seats are the cheap seats high up in an arena, where the altitude might figuratively cause bleeding.

Nosebleed prices are extremely high.
