dragon breath

Legendary fire belch

Dragon breath is informal for extremely bad breath—the kind strong enough to evoke a fire-breathing beast: I need a mint; I've got serious dragon breath after that garlic bread.

The term is playful but pointed, usually describing breath offensive enough to repel others at close range.
