You remember those kids. The one who shows up with the home-built electronic telescope next to your crystal radio at the science fair. The one who discovers a previously unknown fungus in the neighborhood park just as you are about to turn in your pressed oak leaf collection for a biology project. The one whose poetry is published in the national magazine while you come in third in the high school essay contest. The snout in a snout house usually occurs because of the need for a front-yard driveway leading to a garage, which projects past the main lines of the house.
Garage equals snout.
Consider the word naysayer.
