Here’s A Word That Isn’t Heard Very Often…
SNOKER — One who smells at objects like a dog.
From the verb, SNOKE — To pry into holes and corners, to poke one’s nose where it has no business.
As in:
“Jeez Louise, the guy at the workstation over there is quite the All-World snoker.”
“Totally, man. Snoke Central.”
