Coffin Nails 

Pioneering, but forgotten, 1950’s and 1960’s shock jock Joe Pyne called cigarettes this, being resigned to his chain smoking habit. (He died of lung cancer in 1970, aged 45). These days, coffin nails could mean three things:

1. Long, squared off manicures in the shape of an old school coffin;

2. French fries because they’re unhealthy to begin with; and
3. Cigarettes.
