Hello Smilelee

"Thorn-apple" is the common name for plants of the genus Datura, esp. Datura stramonium.

"Love apple" is an old name for "tomato".

"Mad apple" is another name for "aubergine".

A "bad apple" is a figurative expression: if one apple rots, in a container full of apples, the rot spreads to all the other apples. Thus a "bad apple" in an organization (someone who takes bribes, for instance) can cause others to behave in the same way.

"Apple-knocker" I don't know: perhaps another member will be able to help!

All the best,
MrP
