Nitrogen dioxide, or NO2, is a brown, highly toxic gas that can be produced by the oxidation of nitrogen (for example, combustion reactions produce NO2 and other oxides of nitrogen, as some of the oxygen reacts with nitrogen in the air) and the reaction of concentrated nitric acid with some metals (examples include copper, silver, and magnesium).
Even in extremely low concentrations, the slightest whiff of NO2 will have the same effect on your nasal cavity that Drano has on a clogged sink. Its odor doesn't have a 'flavor' to it, per se, but rather exists as a sharp burning sensation akin to the feeling of having a mixture of wasabi and fire ants shoved up one's nose.
Nitrogen dioxide is not to be confused with nitrous oxide, which is more commonly known as laughing gas, and has the formula N2O. Confusing one for the other can often result in fatal consequences.

Jim: Hey Steve, wanna go get high off some nitrogen dioxide?
Steve: Uh, don't you mean nitrous oxide?
Jim: Nah dude, it says here on the container, "NO2." You think I don't know basic chemistry?
Steve: Whatever man, count me out.
Jim: More for me, then!
*later, Jim is found lying in a pool of blood, having died of severe hemorrhaging from his lungs and respiratory tract*

Get the Dione'd mug.She is a beautiful, talented and she has it all. She used to be the envy of nearly every girl when she dated Nathan Sykes of The Wanted, but the pair has recently broken up. She has quite a good taste in clothes but unlike most girls, she doesn't look remotely good in sweats.She has a really sweet face when she smiles but she has the type of face that can never be "SEXY!".
She is one of those over-achievers at school who joins all the clubs, is uber popular, teacher's pet, etc. The kind of girl you that you either want to punch in the face or be like. She has an amateur vocal-bility and has a long way to go but she'll get there one day.
She is the great Amy Winehouse's god-daughter and is signed to Amy's record label.
A lot of people on Twitter hate her because se can be quite rude and snarky which doesn't really sell well with most of the public.
