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: OB-lih-vile

Sentence: Victor was a real OBLIVILE. Although he worked in an old factory, he never missed a chance to pass up a shower. Constantly surrounded by a pungent mephitis, most folks assumed a dead ungulate was buried nearby. At the company picnic, Victor was reekinatus- even when we sat downwince of him. His stencharoma began to repugnegrate on us all, and when Shirley adressed him as "BacteriOllie", Victor was fetadamant...claiming the deadly vapours were not his to control. Aloof, unswayed and unwashed, Victor the OBLIVILE will always retain a top ranking in the annals of aromagression.

Etymology: OBLIVious+vILE=OBLIVILE (n) OBLIVIOUS:lacking active conscious knowledge or awareness especially of one's shortcomings or odours.....VILE: disgustingly or utterly bad;physically repulsive-Middle English, from Anglo-French vil, from Latin vilis.

Pronunciation: smug-smog

Sentence: It was 5:29PM and close to clocking out time as Milly reached into her desk draw and grabbed the plastic carrier bag from inside, flapping it into the air. The bag ballooned open as she rushed to place it over her head, wrapping it tightly around her neck. Bang on 5:30PM, like clockwork, Lenny raised his arms to the back of his head, lent back into his chair and took a big sniff of his shirt armpit. Milly could hear him taking in the air but despite the plastic protection the smugsmog very nearly knocked Jenny out cold. "Ah", he said, "You couldn't buy that in a bottle, eh?"

Etymology: Smug - too pleased or satisfied about something you have achieved or something you know. Smog - air pollution

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)
