I thought I knew it all, but found out there's an "Old word startd on the carnival that is used in modern day wrestling" The word "SNOZZ" Anyone ever heard of that?

It's an Italian word meaning--- large nose
They'll miss us when we're gone!

Probably developed from boxing (the aftermath after several broken noses --)

I believe you're thinking of 'schnoz' or 'schnozzle' which comes from the Yiddish word 'shnoitsl'.

Naso is Nose in Italian.

Plus there's no reason to "code" nose


Here's something I found... I'm starting to think this is an English Show word:

(v) to draw attention to oneself by acting in a pushy manner, often accompanied by noises (snorting, etc) and body movements such as wiggling or shaking.

Most often used to describe animal - human relations, i.e. dogs interacting with humans.

(n) one who snozzes

Iterations: snozzle (n); snozzing (adv); snozzy (adj)

Quit acting like a snozz, Lula, I will go get you a treat!
