Living here, and hearing this in its original Chinese...it was really hilarious. His actual phrase translates literally as..."nose sh*t."

Oddly enough, I think you can go to jail in Singapore for picking your nose ...

'booger' (United States slang for dried nasal mucus)

I thought a booger could still be wet, also. But maybe that is more properly termed a 'loogie'?

Do they have any legends about 'nose goblins' in the Far East?

Note to Taiwan:
You can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose. But you can't pick your friends, roll 'em up in a little ball, and flick 'em across the room.
