stinkies

Things that reek

Stinkies is informal baby talk or playful slang for smelly things, most often referring to dirty diapers or flatulence.

Parents use it when talking to young children: Does somebody have stinkies?

The term also appears in internet culture and memes, sometimes referring to feet or any malodorous item.

Like other diminutive -ies formations, stinkies softens what might otherwise be an unpleasant topic into something cute or humorous.
