From Dr. Bill [wwh] - presumably in reference to Dali's fish, but I'm not sure.
stinking sprats
I had to look up definition of this.
A small fish in herring family, processed like a sardine.
I remember it only from nursery rhyme:
Jack Sprat could eat no fat
His wife could eat no lean
So betwixt them both you see
They licked the platter clean.
