Oooh, just had another thought about smells. According to some Asian populations who don't eat much dairy, all Europeans smell overwhelmingly of cheese. Yes, hysterical-washers, that includes you. You cannot eradicate the cheese smell. Mwah ha ha ha ha haaaaaa!

Olifin yes, so long as you run the water until it's clear

'A lady who comes into my shop now smells of bum. It's rank. I hate her.'

I read somewhere that if you poke your finger up your fanjo and dab it behind your ears it drives men mad! Perhaps your lady got confused, and dabbed her bum smells behind her ears instead.

No idea but my fellow white friend who had a lot of Asian friends said they said the same.

They were teenagers so it could be put down to mutual piss-taking but I'm willing to accept it unless advised otherwise.

I think she dabbed her bum smells all over her whole body AFTER batheing in her bum secretions, the dirty ticket.

limitedperiodonly · 25/05/2011 23:01

That was to Olfin. I don't believe my friend's friends dabbed their piss and bum smells behind their ears. That would be very odd behaviour.

On the matter of smells, a neighbour smelt so bad that I would almost retch if I got close to her. I never said anything but kept moaning to people that she ought to wash.

It turned out she had advanced breast cancer that had broken through her skin. I'm glad I never said anything to her and am ashamed I whinged ignorantly about her.

If anyone would like to be specific, it smelled worse than 'bum smell', but I imagine it might be gigglingly described as 'bum smell' by the unenlightened.

Nobody smells that much of arse, unless they are entirely made of arse. Plastic surgery praps? Bum grafted onto face for baby smooth skin?

SuePurblybilt · 25/05/2011 23:02

Gah, that was directed at Bupcakes, crossed with limited and now feel like a heel.

bupcakesandcunting · 25/05/2011 23:06

I'm not even kidding. We know when Mrs Bum is coming in BEFORE she even enters the shop. The air turns brown and the smell of arse is all engulfing. It's like a noxious gas, turning the air into lung-filling, parfum d' bum.

Then everyone runs towards the office. Whoever remains on the shopfloor must serve Mrs Bum.

SuePurblybilt · 25/05/2011 23:07

What on earth do you sell that Mrs Bum wants so frequently? Nylon thongs?

bupcakesandcunting · 25/05/2011 23:09

Mrs Bum only comes in about once a month. I wish we sold soap so that I could giver her free samples.

limitedperiodonly · 25/05/2011 23:12

Bupcakes have you ever considered doing a 'foul off' with Mrs Bum?

My money's on you.

You cheeky old goat, limitedperiod Shock I am so fragrante that even my crap smells like Joie de Vivre.

BearBehavingBadly · 25/05/2011 23:25

I hate it when you have to use the work/shop/restaurant/pulblic loo immediately after someone else & it smells of rancid fanjo (yuk)

Maybe I'm strange or perhaps I was a bloodhound in a previous incarnation but I totally get how people smell of cheese & I'm not even Asian ( well I don't think I am unless I have some distant Chinese ancestry somewhere, which has been suggested to me at least twice a year usually by random strangers.......)

I've heard the Western europeans smelling of milk, too.

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 26/05/2011 12:08

I knew someone who lived in Hong Kong and was told that Europeans smelt of sour milk.

I don't think it was meant as an insult but I wouldn't have blamed her if she'd taken it as one. Smile

hifi · 26/05/2011 12:39

the dutch deffo smell milky
a strip wash is akin to a cat lick

SummerRain · 26/05/2011 22:12

I'm half dutch but hardly touch dairy so i'm intrigued as to whether I smell milky now Grin
