Definitions: Glob.
(1) What is a glob? A small drop, a globule, a round, shapeless lump of goo, typically semi-solid, as goo prefers to be. But hey! That could just as well be a description of me! Especially early in the morning. Any morning. Any morning whatsoever.
(2) The kind of thing that comes out of your nose, often hanging onto your finger, in case you somehow found your finger burrowing into a nostril. (Which, however one might feel about this sort of thing, is ever so much better than finding someone else's finger up one of your nostrils. Or inserted into any other accessible orifice you might have. Right? Am I right?)
(3) A droplike thing, semi-solid though moist to some degree, and not a turd, usually. Another thing, usually not identifiable, except that it's not a turd. No turds. Except occasionally, by accident probably. Who can say? Life is complicated.
(4) A thing that could be alive but has no discernible eyes, ears, feelers, or legs, and so is incapable of running you down, though globs can sneak up on you at night. Luckily, most globs these days are too small to eat backpackers but they do enjoy crawling into ears or up noses, where they can be found and removed betimes by proper application of appropriate finger technique. Close relatives of eye boogers. Near but lower-class relatives of eye boogers, we could say, and messier besides.
(5) Hiker food. (Been there?)

Me? Trying very hard to get my finger out of my nose. (Don't look just yet, 'K?)
