snorter

One who snorts.

Something extraordinary or remarkable.

The batsman succumbed to a snorter of short balls from the bowler and nicked a thin edge to the keeper.

Something that is extremely difficult.

The maths problem is a real snorter, isn't it?

A punch on the nose.

Both ready, and on their guard; Burke evidently waiting for Byrne to commence; but incautiously putting down his hands to wipe them on his drawers, Byrne, as quick as lightning, popped in a snorter.

And thereupon, remembering that he had threatened to wring my nose, I gave him a snorter upon his own.

A powerful gale.
