Talk:popper

"Stuffed and breaded jalapeno" might deserve a separate ety: I think it was originally "jalapeno popper", hence a pun on "pepper". Equinox ◑ 23:30, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

RFD discussion: February–April 2021
RFD sense:


 * 1)  Relating to poppers, a recreational drug used during sex.

While it is true that this word can be "used attributively as a modifier", the same could be said of virtually any noun, and AFAIK we do not list these as separate senses unless there is clearly a distinct meaning, which doesn't seem to be the case here. Mihia (talk) 10:29, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

Note: I think at one stage this attributive sense was the only "drug" sense listed, because the plain (non-attributive) "drug" sense was thought not to exist in the singular. However, the latter has now been added, making the attributive sense apparently redundant. See also Tea_room. Mihia (talk) 10:38, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
