Bad breath: A mixture of stale coffee and decaying teeth that's been marinating for way too long in someone's mouth, and just so happens that you get to smell it!

burning flesh and hair, or a large amount of lung-spoiling cat poop...
I volunteer at petsmart with the cats that are up for adoption. man, i don't now what they eat, but the aftermath is really really bad. So bad that some people have to leave the room because everyone is gaging... not very fun...

There's a place that we called the Reek where I worked security before, the company commander used to send the rookies there and those who were under disciplinary action got sent to the Reek as well ...Ya wanna take a whiff?
Walk into any convalesent center or hospice and get a reeeal good gasp of the aroma, oh, don't try to hold your breath that won't help, waving your hand in front of your face will just circulate more of the pungent aroma into your nostrils, don't be shy... open up those sinuses... take a deep breath and savor that vapor, now don't go to one of those fancy places, but you want to go to a real old folks home where people send there parents and relatives off to die and be forgotten.
Those places smell like death warmed over, everything you can possibly imagine, piss, shit, flatulence, cancer patients, people dying all over, old folks praying to God, Jesus, and his brother to be saved from the nurse who graduated top of her class at Joseph Mengela Medical University, hey, if war is hell at least you have the off chance of dying a quick death, in an old folks home you die a sloooooowwww death.
If the Death Express has a train station, this is it folks.... All Aboard!

It was rotting chicken trimmings infested with maggots in 3-50 gallon trash cans stored at the back door of a KFC. I was a manager for KFC and was transfered to that location to clean the restaurant up. The excuse for the rotten chicken waste was because the cans were too heavy for anyone to empty into the dumpster. The smell hit you when you walked in the door. It's no wonder that location was going in the red.

New York City.
When you are here, you don't notice it but getting off the plane after being away from NYC for months, you get to smell the rotting garbage, decomposed animal flesh, burnt EVERYTHING smell! It is a horrific smell!

My grandma's home cooking. It's something that I will never get to smell again but I'll always remember.
Next to that, a newborn baby's head after a bath in Johnson and Johnson. I wish my babies were still that little.
by BigDaddyBS on March 23rd, 2008
Hmmm... Depends...
I LOVE the smell of grilling steaks, bar-b-que chicken or pork steaks, heck, even hamburgers.
But I also like the smell of the scented candle or incense aisle at the store. (I've NEVER been able to find a single scented candle or incense that smells so good!)

A skunk that's been hit and killed by a car. That's got to be the foulest, most gut-wrenchingly putrid smell on the planet. It's not even describable.

I was once in this little town in Mexico that smelled like the posterial oriface of the world! No plumbing anywhere! that comes close.
by RudyBox on February 15th, 2007
1. rotting meat (haven't smelled rotting human flesh, luckily)
2. rotting food between own or others teeth (and other causes of bad breath)
3. cat pee (how can something so nasty come out of something so nice?)
4. vomit

Skunk.
by Stableboy on February 7th, 2007
We used to have wild hills behind our house before the developers bought the city council. My wife had a dog named Keesha, and each morning we'd go walking up in the hills early, sometimes before dawn, when skunks ruled the roost.
On one particularly memorable morning, Keesha was out ahead scouting for trouble and found it. Our first clue was a VISIBLE cloud of some gas lightly illuminated by the dawn, the yelping of the dog racing toward us, and a vague sense that something unpleasant was in our future.
I'm not enough of a poet to describe the strength of the odor emanating from this dog.
So while my wife prepared the bathtub and held her nose, the duty fell to me to go shopping for the cure -- at least from what we had heard -- a year's supply of Massengill douche.
Of course, at this hour in the grocery store, there aren't a lot of customers; but all the customers that WERE in the store chose to queue up behind me at the checkstand as I unloaded my cartful of magic potion. As much as I think of myself as self-assured and unconcerned with the opinions of others, the 4 sets of eyeballs (including the cashier) following my every move made me uncomfortable. SOMETHING had to happen to break the tension.
So I finished stacking up the last douchebox on the conveyor, stood up straight, let out a long sigh, cracked my knuckles, and told the cashier straight out: "I just DON'T feel fresh today!"

The stuff that we use in our steam cleaner our parts at work (I work at a place where we rebuild engine parts) it just burns my nose and throut if I smell it. I have no clue how the guys do it all day long.

What were you doing, to smell rotting human flesh? Did you find a dead body or something?
by Castrate on February 11th, 2007
I did a senior internship at the Philadelphis morgue for my degree. Bodies came to us in all states. Once you know the smell, you'll never forget it.
by Gideon on February 13th, 2007
Yep - I'm a CSI, and I can tell the difference btwn a dead human and animal in no time flat. You are totally right about the distinct odor, Gideon! +points to you... :)
