smells like plastic

category: euphemisms
scribble tags:

A sticker on the underside of my shoe says:

Synthetic upper. Man made sole.

Woman made upper? Machine-made upper? Synthetic sole?  The sole looks like machine moulded plastic rather than ‘hand’ made by people.  It all smells like plastic to me. I wonder why the sticker doesn’t say something like

plastic

or, to be more specific:

made by people and machines from plastic
