Need a synonym for "nose"? Try this handy word from a 1904 dialect dictionary: sneeze-horn. This is part of a complete episode.

My bi-focals helped me read the topic title as squeeze horn. However, either one gives an old twist on the word, honky.

Don't really need a synonym for nose, but I always liked Jimmy Durante's "schnozola" (SP?). "Sneeze-horn" is amusing but I doubt I'll ever use it. Grant and Martha didn't say much about it, but I suspect it's a regional euphemism. I never heard it before, either in the Midwest or Southwest.
