I do not turn up my nose at hair that is short and curly
There is a word that describes a turned up nose, wwh. Not in the metaphorical sense but the actual shape. I think it is French. And, at the risk of stringing out this discussion, do you happen to know why people who disdain something are said to be "turning up their nose" at it?
