nostril reed

A nostril reed is a booger lodged in your nose that makes a tone every time you breathe in or out of your nose. The word alludes to the saxophone or clarinet reed which, when blown through, makes a beautiful tone. The nostril reed is not often a source of pride, however.

I didn't get any sleep last night because Tim's nostril reed was honking all night long!
