I wondered what the heck you were talking about.? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pygostyle ... Never herd of that before.
I never heard that one either, but something similar. It was in a book I read that took place in Maine and Massachusetts in the early 1900's. They called it "Barley Corn Nose". I guess because it looked like a drunks nose.Neither did I till we moved up to the cold N.E. in 1960.
