    Why, when boxing, did the old time boxers constantly flick their noses with their thumbs?

    Question #58823. Asked by hotpinky. (Aug 15 05 12:11 PM)

    		It doesn't mean anything obscene and I don't find a verifying site, but it's a nervous tic that good trainer's will try to eliminate from the boxer's moves because it telegraphs what's coming next.
