fignostril

A snooty person who is stuck up and looks down at others not of the same ilk. A friend and I made reservations to eat in a high end restaurant when we walked an older coupled looked at us and apparently didn't think we belonged. The woman made a face crunched up her nose and made an audible hmmph sound. My friend said "What is she doing trying to blow a fig out of her nose"? This also was quite audible. The woman then said "That's disgusting" to which I replied "You're the fignostral"

Don't bother talking to him he's stuck up and will only look down on you, a real fignostril.

fognostricate

To clog, usually with smoke or fumes

I sat in a room and became fognostricated by the cloud of smoke exhaled by the smokers.

The online discussion became fognostricated with abusive posts.

The fognostrification process was stymied by simply opening windows and doors.
