Re: Nostril
What you call the "dirty loose liquid" in a person's nostril = snot.
What do you call the "dirty dry substance" in a person's nostril = nose pickings (if extracted with a finger), a boogie, a bogey (UK) or a booger (US). Those are all relatively informal terms. Otherwise, you can call it dried [nasal] mucus.

Re: Nostril
Mucus is a more formal name but, as mucus is the term for the slime produced by various glands and membranes, to be precise use "nasal mucus".

Again mucus for the liquid. Dried it is usually "sleep" or "sleep dust".Stevenloan wrote:Erik_Kowal and tony h : Thank you two very much. By the way, you guys, what do you call the "dried substance" and the "loose liquid" you have in your eyes when you get up every morning?

My Mummy told me that so it must be true.The Mythological Answer.
The story goes that every night the Sandman comes and sprinkles magical sleepy sand or dust into children's eyes which sends them to deep sleep. The remains of his magical ingredient are seen in the morning as golden nuggets or gloopy sleep in the eyes.
