snot rocket

Farmer's blow result

A snot rocket is mucus expelled forcefully from the nose by pressing one nostril closed and blowing hard through the other, sending the discharge flying without a tissue: He leaned over and launched a snot rocket onto the sidewalk.

The technique is common among athletes and outdoor workers.

Crude but effective.
