Can anyone explain how syzygy's "potato" relates to "stocking filler"?

Hi chrise, as syzygy is now unlikely to post before voting opens may I suggest he is referring to the Christmas tradition in some other countries when misbehaving children receive either a piece of coal or a potato in their stocking or shoe (sometimes combined with (a) "nice" present(s) to reflect the year). Perhaps he also has the same cynical/bah humbag attitude that I have and as they are traditionally low value gifts;

cryptically "tat wrapped in crap"?

Thanks ginge.

Syzzie had already told me his clue via email (I also had no idea what he meant by 'Potato' and asked for some clarity) - , here is his reply to me:

Apparently some like to enhance the appearance of their "attributes" by putting a stuffed sock in their pants. Sometimes a potato is used as the filler.



Wow, someone actually tried to market this:
