stinky
Nose-wrinklingly foul
Stinky means having an unpleasant smell: stinky cheese, stinky socks.
The word is casual and often playful—parents use it with children, and it can suggest mild disgust rather than genuine offense.
Figuratively, something stinky is suspicious or of poor quality: That deal sounds stinky to me.
