"A conical bag which can be filled with henna and the tip snipped off to make an applicator."

Does this differ from a bag originally used for carrots used for another purpose? What is the usage context? Do we need 2x4 (a piece of lumber used to get someone's attention)? DCDuring (talk) 16:47, 10 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Yes it does: "carrot" refers to the shape of the bag, not its use for carrots. However, this sense is not limited to the use as an applicator for henna, for example, see this. Kiwima (talk) 22:43, 10 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
Oh yes, and I have cited this meaning. Kiwima (talk) 22:52, 10 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
