snort

A snort is a sudden, loud breathing sound often made by animals like horses or pigs when they're surprised or excited.

When we say "snort", it's usually to describe a funny or unexpected sound. For example, if you see a horse suddenly jump up and let out a loud "huff-huff" noise, someone might say, "That horse just snorted!" We also use the word to talk about people who make silly noises while they're laughing or surprised - like if someone eats something really spicy and it makes them sneeze loudly. In informal situations, we might even use "snort" as a verb, saying "I'm going to snort my coffee out my nose when I see this video!"
