The word ‘Schnarchnase’ combines the verb ‘schnarchen’ (to snore) and the noun ‘Nase’ (nose), and so might be literally translated as ‘snore nose’ or ‘snoring nose’. A sleepy-headed Schnarchnase might have taken on an important task at work without being qualified to get it done on time or well. On top of all of this, a Schnarchnase can also describe someone who is boring or tedious to speak to and be around. Ich kann nicht im selben Bett wie du schlafen – du bist eine schreckliche Schnarchnase. Es hätte nicht halb so lange gedauert, wenn Eric nicht so eine Schnarchnase wäre.
