A sign of derision made by putting your thumb on your nose and wiggling your fingers. Original motion created by placing ones thumb upon the side of their nose and pushing out as if giving thumbs up. Guaranteed to offend soccer moms and yuppie pigs.
Etymology: Originated in the 1640's in Vienna. Gained popularity when Shakespeare is said to have 'thumbed his nose' at Edmond Rostand.
Debbie asked Joe, "Did you just thumb your nose at me?"

A term describing an individual who rigourously supports an elitist system masquerading as a government/organisation that supports a democratic society with values that are just.
The person is known as a 'Brown Nose' for obvious reasons in that he is by far the most vocal supporter of this hypocritical group. Often adopting himself as a mouthpiece for that organisation.
The term 'Bigland' however, comes from more historical times during the division of property ownership. The person showing the most loyalty to the crown or local landlord was given the first choice of what land he got. Often this land would be the most fertile and the biggest patch available - hence they became a 'Big-Land' owner which through the passage of time and supposedly due to local dialects because pronounced 'bigland'.
In contemporary examples, Bigland Brown Noses become so well acquainted with those in power, they can afford to adopt a smug and often pompous attitude because they know there is little chance of them falling from grace whilst those they support have power.
In todays society the most obvious place for a Bigland Brown Nose is national government. A government that, for example, stands for equality throughout the nation, yet adopts a blatant elitist attitude that could even go so far as to be described as a proletariat would make great use of a Bigland Brown Nose who would fend off criticism - often with prepared answers that simply sidestep the issue and aim at discrediting and belittling critics often enjoying the use of official discourse in doing so.

A strip of fabric rolled into a cylindrical shape and inserted into the nostril to stop a nose bleed or runny nose.
I rolled up a nose-blunt out've an old t-shirt when my sinuses started acting up, so I could continue studying without getting snot all over everything.
