Pronunciation: /fungk-on-shuss/

Sentence: Carlos thought of himself as the office 'Romeo,' stopping to try to speak to all the young ladies who worked there. Unfortunately, he was completely funkonscious — totally unaware of his strong body odor, not to mention his bad breath. None of his conversations lasted very long, but he was blissfully ignorant of why.

Etymology: Funk - a strong smell; stench (from dial. French, funkière "smoke") + Unconscious - without awareness, sensation, or cognition (from Latin, un- "not" & conscius "knowing, aware")

Pronunciation: Stin-ka-plom

Etymology: Stink( to have a strong unpleasant odour) + Aplomb(self confidence,calm assurance) = Stinkaplomb

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)

Pronunciation: bee o b livee us

Sentence: Marco Territorio always worked out at lunch time and came back, on time, daily without having had a shower. He was beeoblivious (B.O.-blivious more like) to the pong he left for his co-workers. 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...

Etymology: BO (Body Odor; uncleaned, not sanitary or healthful area;not cleaned nor kept up) & oblivious (totally unaware of what happens and unmindful of others)
