What are the ground rules for telling a mate he smells?
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?
congratulate him on his rare, exotic fragrence
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
To a man; "You smell, real bad"
To a woman; "You smell" (Gotta soften the blow you see)
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.
"Yo' stink Brother!"
"Get some deodorant or go away."
"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. :)
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.
"Ah maaaan, I think I got some dog turd on my shoe. Oh, wait..."
Sounds about right...Quote:

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