👉 Margaret fumes refer to a common, unpleasant odor often associated with the cleaning products and chemicals used by Margaret Thatcher, the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. This smell is typically described as a sharp, acrid, and sometimes metallic or chemical-like odor, reminiscent of bleach or ammonia. It can be particularly noticeable in areas where she worked, such as her offices or homes, and is often attributed to the strong perfumes, air fresheners, and cleaning agents she favored. The term "Margaret fumes" has become a colloquial way to describe this distinctive and sometimes irritating scent, reflecting both the chemical nature of the products used and the strong personal style of the former leader.
