Sorry, if this question is a bit gross, but I'm learning English, I would really want to know.

The stuff coming out from your ear is wax.
What about the stuff coming out from your nose?
and the stuff coming out from your eye?

What do you call them? Thanks.

This is a fun question.

The stuff that comes out of your ear is: earwax.
The stuff that comes out of your nose is: boogers or snot.
The stuff that comes out of your eye is: eyegoop, or goop.

Haha!

It depends whether you want the real terms or the slang/everyday words we use.
I'm sure a doctor would just talk about "mucus" or "discharge" coming from the nose and the eyes. Of course, tears come from the eyes too!

My mum always used to refer to the dried stuff by your eyes especially in the morning as "sleep" (as in, "you need to wash your face again, you still have sleep in your eyes") - has anyone else heard of this I wonder?

Tears from eyes, snot from noses.
