We grew up calling it an "Oklahoma Hankie"; what is it called where you live?

You know that move where you don’t have or can’t be bothered to find a Kleenex so you either lean forward or way over to one side, close one nostril with you finger on the side of your nose then blow (hopefully only done outdoors); expelling the contents toward the ground and then, if necessary, do the other nostril? That is what I am talking about.

I grew up in Texas and, as I said, we always referred to it as an “Oklahoma Hankie but a friend who grew up in Kentucky told me that they called it a “Tennessee Hankie”.

So I got to wondering if there were other regional or international differences regarding the nomenclature of said act.

Anyone?
