Retarded Nose Syndrome. If one has a chronically runny nose from a
long-lasting illness, or just unlucky enough to have abnormally runny nose genes, they are
said to have RNS. Also sometimes known as Runny Nose Syndrome, for those easily offended.
Heather: Why do you have such a huge pile of
nasty tissues by your desk?
Me: I have an acute
case of RNS, once it starts it takes hours to
die down!
Heather: Real nice.
