poppers

Fried jalapeño appetizers

Poppers are small capsules of amyl nitrite or similar chemicals, crushed and inhaled for a brief euphoric rush and muscle relaxation.

They're associated with club culture and gay male sex, where they enhance sensation and relax smooth muscles.

The term also refers to jalapeño peppers stuffed with cheese and fried: jalapeño poppers.

A popper can be any container or device that pops—a party popper, a fishing lure that makes a popping sound on the water.
