Your Definition

"Nasal graving" is a term used when a person is so "nosey" that their noses become graven into every object they observe.

The term nasal graving is best explained as the antonym of naval gazing. Whereas navel gazing is defined as "excessive [introspection] or obsession with a minuscule issue (often missing [the bigger picture])," nasal graving means "excessive extrospection or obsession with *every* issue (an impossible if not useless task) ."

Nasal graving is also the extreme version of nasal grazing which is a form of nosiness or obsession with other people's information. For example, a nasal graving person will not only be [obsessed] with everyone else's private matters but also try to [understand] every single piece of information in the world (e.g. trying to read every single book, understand every single stock-market fluctuation, learn about every single [astronomical] fact, etc..). While the imagery of a navel gazer is a person so obsessed with oneself (or a small single-issue) that they are caught staring at their own belly-button, the imagery of a nasal graver is a person who is so obsessed with every single external piece of worldly information that they find that their nose is now engraved in it. In other words, the nasal gravers leave their marks engraved on the objects of the world. The nasal gravings have become one with the external artifacts of the world (see GIF below for a real world example).
