whiffy
Giving off odor
Whiffy means smelling bad or having an unpleasant odor.
The word is informal and British, suggesting something mildly rank rather than overwhelming: These leftovers are getting a bit whiffy.
It can describe anything from stale clothes to suspicious food to a person who needs a shower.
