Nasal-Nuisance

A colloquial and somewhat humorous term referring to an individual, object, or situation that causes persistent or irritating disruptions or discomfort primarily related to the sense of smell or breathing through the nose. It suggests something that is bothersome or unpleasant, particularly due to scents, irritants, or obstructions affecting the nasal passages. The term often implies a degree of minor annoyance rather than severe harm, frequently encompassing things like bothersome allergens, strong or unpleasant odors, or the physical discomfort of a stuffy nose.
