Snotcake

A derogatory and often humorous term used to describe a person, typically a child or someone perceived as childish, who is seen as messy, unpleasant, and/or prone to producing or having an abundance of nasal mucus (snot). It's a colloquialism, usually used playfully or in jest, and carries a strong connotation of disgust and annoyance, though rarely intended to be truly malicious. The term can be used metaphorically to describe something that is poorly made, disgusting, or generally undesirable. The implied messiness and lack of hygiene are central to the meaning. The term emphasizes the perceived grossness of the person or thing being described. It is typically used to describe children or people acting immature. The connotation is primarily negative, despite sometimes having a slightly humorous tone.
