Schnuber schnooze revealed
My bro-in-law made mention to schnuber schnooze in a recent post. I thought it may be entertaining or even educational to explain the origin of this strange term. Let me take you way back - to the 1970's. A decade of disco, bell bottoms, and velour shirts (of which I had many). My good pal (heretofore referred to as Johnny T) and I were busy building model cars. On one trip to the Five and Dime store (only you old timers know that one) he showed me a model of a German half-track vehicle with a name too difficult to pronounce. I said, "oh look, it's a schnuber schnooze!" At this point, snot erupts from Johhny T's nose as he laughs uncontrollably. I also laughed but remained in control of all bodily fluids. When he was finished laughing, Johnny T beckoned me to get him a tissue, alas none was to be found. He wiped his snot on the box of the schnuber schnooze and we prmpotly left the store. To this day, the act of any fluid erupting from one's nose is known as schnuber schnooze. How I long for yesterday.
