Old Scrotum and Poppers

Blimey, just listening to someone on radio 4 plugging a book praising domesticity for women. They wheeled in a feminist who described her attempts at knitting saying they always ended up 'looking like an old scrotum.' Was a bit surprised by the expression, but I kind of know what she means, as a hopeless knitter.

At a local market stall I was looking for air fresheners and came across these tiny black bottles described as room fresheners. They were marked 'pure gold' and 'bee sting' and it said you would 'go with a bang' with these. These sounded highly odd, and on questioning the stallholder said' I shouldn't tell you, but people take these when going to parties'. On further investigation elsewhere it seemed that they might be full of amyl nitrate or whatever it is they put in poppers. Perhaps when carried away with the effects you don't notice how the room pongs. Or not.
