Hi
If someone is wearing a nice perfume, can we say
“Hey, you smell good, John.”
or
2-You smell foul.
3-You smell ugly. etc

You can smell good. I think the opposite in a polite way is to say; You don’t smell very nice, today. Smell foul, nasty is usually things rather than people, at least when they’re alive! Smell ugly is more figurative, which suggests something has made you suspicious and things look very bad.

My sister’s dog got “skunked” two weeks ago. (Really!) He still smells awful. :lol:
Namesake o’ Mine:
If you really want to be extreme when someone doesn’t smell good, say this:
“You smell like [slang word for feces – you know what it is]!”
hehe
Conversely, if someone smells really nice, say this:
“Your aroma is like a cornucopia of all the best potpourri scents.”
(there’s that ‘posting after 5pm’ thing again.)

I’ve heard that a decent way to get rid of the skunky odor is to bathe the beast in tomato juice.
Hi Tom
Two tomato-juicings later, we now firmly believe that to be a myth. :lol:
well crud.
okay, try giving the dog a Mentos bath.
Crush up some Mentos, get it to dissolve in the water… then bathe the dog in this concoction.
lol
Did you know that ‘potpourri’ literally means ‘rotten pot’?
Not a bad syndrome altogether, I’d say.
Potpourri will never smell quite the same again now that I know that. :lol:
Conchita, you’re way too kind. I have two minutes to write this post.
(hurry up, Tom)
LOL at both of you… “rotten pot” and Amy’s reply.
Thanks for the creative suggestion, Tom.
I’ve now received quite a number of suggestions. One suggestion involved bleach. Another called for vinegar. Yet another involved mixing a number of “common household ingredients” together (but they also mentioned the necessity to be very careful since the mixture could ignite…). Somebody else suggested using mouthwash on the dog. :lol: Of course the local pet store has a number of products – but even they don’t eliminate the stink completely. :shock:

Try peroxide.
Just make sure you cover its eyes with swimming goggles or something…
This sounds like George’s Marvellous Medicine!
“So give me a bug and a jumping flea,
Give me two snails and lizards three,
And a slimy squiggler from the sea,
And the poisonous sting of a bumblebee,
And the juice from the fruit of the ju-jube tree,
And the powdered bone of a wombat’s knee,
And one hundred other things as well,
Each with a rather nasty smell,
I’ll stir them up, I’ll boil them long,
A mixture tough, a mixture strong,
And then heigh-ho, and down it goes,
A nice big spoonful (hold your nose),
Just gulp it down and have no fear.
“How do you like it, Granny dear?”
