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

New York city:

I call it, “ew, that’s fucking gross.”

New Jersey.

We call it, “Feh!”

Lil ol Englandtown & I call that the “fucking dirty bastard”

What’s wrong with a shirtsleeve?

Oregon: Farmer’s sneeze

New England: Snot rocket

Feh! (My relatives swung from the same trees as @janbb ‘s.)

Grew up in Western New York. It doesn’t have a name, so I just call it nasty and disgusting.

As someone who was born and raised in Oklahoma, I would like to point out that I never knew anyone who did this and never witnessed it. Yes, I spent a lot of time on farms doing farm work, too. I was even a member of Future Farmers of America.

I would also like to add I’m glad I don’t live there anymore.

@Hawaii_Jake I’m guessing you aren’t a hockey fan. It is bad on the benches between shifts.

@Adirondackwannabe Isn’t hockey played on horseback?

@Hawaii_Jake Yeah, they use polo ponies with ice skates.

@Adirondackwannabe Ice? I thought they made the horses tread water.

I’ve never heard of a term describing this act before.

@Hawaii_Jake In your climate that works, here we kept having to chip them out of the ice.

Ewww, it’s so gross. I never saw it until my Vietnamese friends did it while on the soccer field, so I don’t call it anything I guess.

I have thankfully never seen that before.

@anniereborn I hope you never do. ;)

Yes, gross out to the 10th power! Never even was aware there WAS a NAME for that. Gag!

Didn’t mean to upset folks sensibilities.

can I get you a hankie

Blowing snot bombs.

I have never even heard of someone doing that. Yuck.

Sensibility remains free of any upset whatsoever.

New Jersey: Snot rocket. and also gross.

My Dad used to do that. He said he learned it in the Navy.

Snot rocket. (And totally unacceptable, by the way.)

Ballistic bogey, usually from tramps.

NJ – I’ve heard the term “snot rocket” also. It’s totally disgusting!

I don’t call it anything but gross and probably against the law in some places. Just a few days ago when I was back in TN someone spit on the groun, let alone what you are talking about, and I thought to myself how do people do that? I’m pretty sure in New York City it is illegal to spit on the ground and I think your Oklahoma Hankie probably would fall under that same umbrella. At least that is what my larents always told me, spitting on the street was illegal accirding to them, they are from The Bronx. Imagine if all of NYC felt entitled to do such a thing on the street! Disgusting. Use your sleeve for Christ’s sake. LOL.

I do this all time. I also do it when I am alone. I know how to blow my nose but this is the best way to get a persistent burger.

@johnpowell People give you burgers for doing this? Where do you live?

I have never heard of or witnessed anyone doing that! I didn’t even know it was a thing until reading this thread. I planning a trip to Oklahoma next year, should I be concerned?!?!

Just keep your pants tucked into your boots @Leanne1986
