I always thought (stepson is a HUGE Thomas the Tank Engine fan, I know the episode you speak of) that it was a pair of stupid train puns, for the phrase "high-strung and anything smelly is bad for her nerves". Not that that makes a whole lot of sense either, but at least those are two known phrases.
