Talk:Booger

OK. Enough 11-year olds are going to want to know: What's the scientific name for a booger? What's it made of, anyhow? -- Seth Ilys 01:41, 13 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- Dried nasal mucus. There's no real scientific name for it (nasal disjunctive products!)... ugen64 01:45, Mar 13, 2004 (UTC)
Wasn't this page already created, listed on VFD, voted on, and deleted? Possibly under a slightly different name. Either that or my memory is shot. Tannin 01:48, 13 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Well, it should certainly exist, even if only as a redirect to mucus. Inquiring minds *will* want to know... -- Seth Ilys 02:21, 13 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Speaking as an ear, nose, and throat doctor, booger needs to stay.
No WKRP reference?
In the pilot episode of WKRP in Cincinnati, we meet the new DJ, Doctor Johnny Fever, who was fired from his old job for saying "booger" on the air. Later in the pilot, when the format of the station is changed to rock and roll, gleefully says "Booger!!!" nice and loud and slow for all to hear.
Requested move
Booger is not the scientific name for it. It doesn't really have any scientific name. The best though is nasal mucus. nasal mucus is much more scientific than booger. booger is a slang term, not the scientific name. 205.188.116.199 15:49, 21 Jun 2005

- To clarify, I believe there should be an article on "nasal mucus". Whether or not the majority of this article (etymology, etc.) should be transferred is a different matter. violet/riga (t) 21:57, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- I agree with violet/riga. — Knowledge Seeker দ 23:29, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
