Topic ripped directly from this month's issue of FHM.

What are the ground rules for telling a mate he smells?

[Mitch]

In my circle of friends it seems to be something like "Damn you stink! Have a shower"

Luckily, I don't smell

In a civilised society, maybe subtly offering them deoderant whenever you use it?

[Meat Puppet]

congratulate him on his rare, exotic fragrence

[DK]

Say "Dude, you smell, go have a shower"

I see no reason why this subject should be broached lightly. Towns, you stink, go shower. >=O

[Master Quan]

To a man; "You smell, real bad"

To a woman; "You smell" (Gotta soften the blow you see)

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

By coincidence, people who smell happen to be people I'm not about to befriend, so I've never been in a position to tell a "mate" (oi gor blimey) that he stinks.

[Captain Maxx Power]

"Yo' stink Brother!"

[Spiffing Cheese]

"Get some deodorant or go away."

[Cless]

"Look dude, I'm not trying to be rude, but you ain't smellin' too fresh. I'd advise having showers more often, or maybe use some deodorant or anti-perspirant. That should do the trick."

Not too firm, but not too wishy-washy either. :)

[Kirkpatrick]

The ground rules? I'd say mark off at least two meters, that should put you out of range of both his odour and his fists, should he take offense.

[Dr.K]

"Ah maaaan, I think I got some dog turd on my shoe. Oh, wait..."

[Primus Inter Pares]

Sounds about right...

[Rye]

I'm too spineless to ever do that, and I've had stinky friends. I just, you know, keep my face away from them. :(

[Cz]

Pinch your nose and waft your free hand around in front of your face. Then say 'PEE-EWW!' as loudly as you can. If this doesn't work, try a slightly less subtle approach and tail your friend wherever he goes, spraying him with Febreeze.

If this doesn't work, I can guarentee your money back. :twocents:

[Shlup]

"Goddammit, Ashley, when was the last time you washed? *kick*"

[Kalen]

Most of the people I hang out with stink sometimes, and I stink quit often, because we all do dance or kung fu and sweat alot, but the smell of sweat usually doesn't bother me.

I will tell my smoker friends that they stink after they've come back from getting "some fresh air"

[Resha]

Give him/her a nice expensive strong perfume as an un-birthday present. :love:

[The Jamie Star Scenario]

Throw water over them.

[bipper]

If your try and start them on fire they should get the hint.

If you start them on fire you get 10 points.

I thought this was going to be about a castle on Nickelodeon back in the day.

[Miriel]

I never directly told my roommate Freshman year that she smelled like dirty socks. Instead, I just sprayed Febreze in her general direction once, twice, ten times a day. I'm not sure if she ever took the hint. Maybe she just thought I had a thing for Febreze.

[Drift]

"oit ass you stink so go get a shower" ofc thats also the normal Broxbourne greeting from anyone

[Jojee]

Let's go shower together n_n

[Old Manus]

He smells what?

[Reles]

Tell his mommy so that mommy will FORCE him to shower.

Be coy......take a bottle of cologne, spray it on him, smell him, then be like "That's SO MUCH better." Let him assume the rest.

[Kamiko]

I've never had a stinky friend. Except after gym class.
But umm... one time Yuki gave this girl soap for christmas. I think that was mean.

MEAN!

[one_winged_angel]

I don't think this is really a subject you have to be delicate about seeing as a rare few take it personally. I believe my most frequent way of telling people is "Omg go take a shower, you reek!" and I have some SMELLY friends. I swear I nearly killed one of them by using deodrant in the same room as him.

[rubah]

Hand them a bottle of body spray very quietly.

[Del Murder]

'Dude, you stink.'

[Yamaneko]

"Man, you stink."

[bennator]

'Dude, you reek'
