At the risk of triggering an idiolect war, in these parts, it's a "stuffy nose". Which is why I like Nance's. Like wasabi, si l'on n'en a pas soin, it can induce that momentary stupefying ice-cream-like headache in the forehead right between the eyes, which is a deliciously naughty, painful pleasure. Clllllllllear those sinuses! Kou
