Chuck used to bike to workeven in the winter and would always get a runny nose, which he would take care of with a couple of quick snot rockets in full view of the rush hour traffic.
When you plug/cover/pinch one nostril closed and then blow hard to make unwanted snot shoot out the other nostril. Sometimes when suffering from a cold, snot rockets can be achieved by the nose alone, without intervention from the hands. The primary purpose of the "rocket" is to avoid leaving any snot residue left behind. The idea is to blow the snot out fast enough so that it has no chance of sticking to the end of your nostril. Snot rockets are enacted primarily in situations when tissue is desperately needed but unavailable, or it is done simply for recreation.
My nose was starting to run before the track meet, so I ran behind a tree and blew out a massive snot rocket.
Snot rockets are about the only fun part of having a cold. Morning snot rockets in the shower are cherished by many.
(I plug his nose just to annoy him)
(He holds his breath and pushes with his nose)
(I let go - stupidly - only to get snot ALL OVER ME in a RESTAURANT)

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
