Popper

Open society theorist

A popper is something that pops.

Popcorn poppers heat kernels until they burst.

Party poppers release confetti with a bang.

In fishing, a popper is a lure that makes a popping sound on the water's surface.

Poppers are also small capsules of amyl nitrite or similar inhalants, snapped open and inhaled for a brief euphoric rush—common in club scenes and during sex.
