: : 1)Is the dirt
in the ear called ear wax?
: : 2)How about the dry dirt in the nose? I heard
something like blogger.
: : 3)How about the liquid in the mouth that we want
to spit out? Mucus, phlegm or something else?
: : Thanks.
: How charming.
:
1) Yes, it's called earwax.
: 2) There are numerous slang terms, including
snot, booger (US) and bogie (UK).
: 3) Mucus and especially phlegm would be
correct - mucus is a more general term, whereas phlegm is specific to the windpipe
and throat. If you're looking for very impolite slang, "hawking up a lugie" will
do.
How about the all-inclusive "bodily fluids"?
