potatoe masher

WW2 German stick hand grenade. Tucked into the belt or boot of infantryman was a formidable weapon both in assault and defence.
Unlike allied grenades it did not depend on throwing out fragments of red hot metal, just the power of its 4.2 oz explosive charge.

May have resembled a kitchen utensil of the time.

That potatoe masher exploded so close that I cannot hear what you are saying and Seargent Bodybitz is dead...

Potato Flying

Something that is very tricky. When the English-run coffin ships were leaving Ireland during the famine, they were often overcrowded, and people became desperate to get aboard. Crowds would gather on the edges of the Cliffs of Moher, and, as the ship passed, try to jump on board. Many failed, landing and dying instead in the frigid waters. The English dubbed these attempts "potato flying", and the phrase today has become inextricably linked with attempting and then failing at something.

Person 1: "Hey man, how'd that exam go?"
Person 2: "Pfft, totally potato flew it. That should be one big fat F."

Person 1: "I think I am potato flying at life."
