Q: The long pinky nail habit
Has anyone gotten a good explanation of leaving one pinky nail really long ? I'm thinking nose picker. I've asked dozens of people, and not even the women can/will tell my why some men do this.

Can't really believe you have no idea why some males have their pinky nail really long. Even in recent movies it has been showm, and its intended use too.
When you think of "nose picking" you are getting warm, but NOT HOT !.
It is not to remove "things" from the nose, but to bring "special medicaments" to the nose, where they are inhaled into the nose to "affect" the brain, or what's left of it.
well... even though a larger quantity of Chinese men take K or whatever substances, it is (and has been for a long time) the true nose/ear/scrotum friend! 
Back in the western places, yeah sure that pinky would be for that, i'm rather certain that it's to let others know that they are above having to do hard labour and toil in the feilds all day. So if you have a long pinky its says ''i'm a little dainty''.

I wouldn't say 'dainty', but "I've got so much money, I don't need to do any type of physical work" - it's a class statement!
