What's a 'strop'?
Denmark used to play good football. When I heard that they thrashed England, I naturally assumed it was footie, but lo and behold it was cricket.
A strop is a leather belt like appliance. Barbers use it to sharpen their cut-throats/razors.
Thence strop=razor sharp=sharp tongue= anger? at bad cricket. You are pulling my leg B, surely.
I was, sorry!
