Overly literal interpretation
Some might only see it as a physical nose and miss the metaphorical meaning of curiosity or investigation.
Tip: Add context or accompanying text to clarify the intended meaning, e.g., "I need to investigate this 👃."
Negative connotation of "nosy"
While it can mean curiosity, it can also imply being intrusive, which might be taken negatively.
Tip: Be mindful of the context to avoid unintended negative implications. If you mean positive curiosity, clarify.
