Farmer's Hanky 

The act of blowing your nose by a combination of covering one nostril with a finger and clearing the other with a powerful nasal blast of air, for use when a suitable snot receptacle isn't available. Popluar with farmers and footballers and useful in the right situation, but not really acceptable among polite company. Unless you're desperate of course.
