- Would you guys stop making fun of my big nose? I’ve been nostracized ever since I was little.

verb; blending
To make fun of someone or ostracize them because of a large nose My friend used this term as a witty response to our friends who constantly make fun of her nose. It is just a comedic word which worked to blend two other words.
Etymology : blend of nose/nostril and ostracize
Source : conversation with friends
