- sneeze-box54%
A cheeky old British slang term for a snuffbox — the small ornate container used to carry powdered tobacco (snuff) that was inhaled through the nose. The name is entirely logical: you open the box, take a pinch, sniff it up, and sneeze. It's the kind of blunt descriptive nickname that Georgian and Victorian England was excellent at producing. Today it's more historical curiosity than active vocabulary, but it has genuine charm.
