Older slang term for Amyl or Butyl nitrate, which used to be sold in sex shops, so-named probably because some people find the chemical has an odor slightly akin to dirty socks. Also called "rush" or "popper." The chemical causes a sudden and dramatic expansion of the blood vessels, creating an intense rush, often followed by a feeling of light-headedness. Often used at raves, and in dancehalls/discos. Very popular with gay men, to increase the intensity of the orgasm. Amyl or Butyl nitrate used in conjunction with drugs intended to correct erectile dysfunction (e.g., Viagra) is potentially fatal.
Amyl nitrate by inhalation (in appropriate quantities, and administered by a physician) acts as an antidote for cyanide poisoning, by causing the body to produce methemoglobin which combines with the cyanide to form nontoxic cyanmethemoglobin.

1.) A variety of chewing tobacco, sold as a bar of tightly compressed, cured tobacco leaves compressed between sheets of brown paper or whole tobacco leaves. Plug tobacco is commonly cured with mollasses. While less common than many years ago, plug tobacco is still manufactured: "Day's Work" is a common brand. Remnants of the plug-making process are sold as scrap, where the loose leaf material is packed in a bag.
2.) The wad of plug or scrap tobacco that is held between the cheek and gum, often producing a bulging appearance on the side of the face. This, along with spitting, was once a common sight when it was a fad for baseball players to chew plug tobacco during a game.
