sniffler
Nose-blowing person
A sniffler is someone who sniffles—making repeated small, audible inhalations through the nose, typically from a cold, allergies, or crying.
The term often carries mild irritation, as when someone nearby won't stop sniffling: The sniffler in the row behind me ruined the concert.
