noses

Faces have them

Noses is the plural of nose—the facial feature used for breathing and smelling.

The word extends to nose-shaped projections and the front of things: the noses of several aircraft.

To say someone noses around is to say they pry into others' affairs.

Their noses were pressed against the glass.
