That's an interesting triple entendre sentence build around "smelt", which is a past tense (archaic maybe?) of smell, often written smelled, and a smelt is a little silver fish, so quite stinky, and smelt is liquid metal.

That's a rare sentence that pretty much works all three ways.

Yikes. It was 3am and I was sleepless. Smelt rather than smelled… poor.
