They had many names for him: The Aroma from Roma;Smell Gibson;Pong de Leon;Rudy Stench;Acridability Gap;Malodour in the Middle; Scratch & Sniff;and Ghengis Garbage Khan. He could reek havoc on afternoon meetings and caused scentsations among the Ranks. Instinked made people avoid him and the Olfactory was elated when he took vacation. So it was whiff pungent irony that he was snuffed out by the Cosa Nose-tra. I smell a rat...

Confiscents
Created by: Nosila
Pronunciation: kon fa sens
Sentence: Adam Reek was no ordinary salesman. Every lunch he went for a run and came back to stink up the whole office. He was so delusional he thought that the ladies in the office were envious of his confiscents and mistook their attention for attraction. The receptionist, Rose Aroma, particularly objected to his stench, as it permeated the entire office and she was afraid people might think it emanated from her. She complained, but the boss reminded her that Adam somehow sold more than anyone else in the office (obviously by phone and Internet)and was a valued employee of distinktion. Yes, thought Rose, rank has it's privileges.
Etymology: Confidence (freedom from doubt; belief in yourself and your abilities) & Scents (smell, stench, aroma,odor,olfactory senses)

Stenchutzpa
Created by: OZZIEBOB
Pronunciation: sten-CHUTZ-pa
Sentence: Bob was a bit of a nidork, blithely unaware of the effect his dyspongnosis had on others. Often he would loudly exclaim: "Here I am again, fragrant as a rose." Frequently office conversations were punctuated by puffs of perfume as this self-assured stenchutzpa sauntered by. Even the suggestion that he should take up "Pong Shui" was meet with the usual response of "no sweat." But when he resolutely declared that he didn't come down in the last shower his fellow workers could take no more.
Etymology: Stench & chutzpa; boldness, brashness, gall, effrontery, Nidork (nidor & dork); Dyspongnosis: condition of bad smell; Pong shui (shoo away the pong)
