woolly booger
n.— «“Physiologically, the salient characteristic of peyote is its production of visual hallucinations or color visions, as well as kinesthetic, olfactory, and auditory derangements.” Or, to put it another way, that little old woolly booger turns you on like a light, man. Daddy peyote is the vegetal representation of the sun.» —“Hegemonic Registers in Momaday’s House Made of Dawn” by Guillermo Bartelt Style Dec. 1, 2005. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
