[Futurama] Bender says he'd trade any of his senses, "even smission", in exchange for a sense of taste. What's smission?

I *believe* it's a substance emission sense, going completely off of what we see in Futurama. Bender can often pick up smells and foul-aromas like the other Planet Express meatbags, however this *Smission* sense would be how he does so rather than purely a developed sense of smell like the meatbags do.

Ideally this is incorporated into robots so as to detect hazardous chemical environments and protect humans from lingering there not unlike a mining canary, however Bender (and many robots who have gained sentience to a selfish degree) disregard this idea/protocol, instead ignoring the danger or merely avoiding the danger themselves due to self-supporting goals rather than any human protecting ones.

This also could be why he has a *very basic* form of taste, simple enough to pick up the flavors of anchovies or differing alcohol/tobacco products (hating the former and often loving the latter), whilst not being sophisticated enough to register taste profiles or possess a complex enough palette to differentiate most foods and ingredients (especially to the extent a chef would be capable of doing).
