picking nose
Digital nasal exploration
Picking nose refers to the act of inserting a finger into one's nostril to extract mucus or debris.
The behavior is universal but socially discouraged in public: Stop picking your nose at the dinner table.
Children are frequent offenders, and adults who do it openly are considered uncouth.
The phrase sometimes appears as nose-picking when used as an adjective or noun.
