A family in a very upscale suburb of Chicago had some very bad luck. A skunk dug under their house, and the stench went through their ventilation system. Short of tearing down this million-dollar home, no one really knows how to fix the situation.

[But how is this word related? Hold on!]

So, they brought in a smell expert, who used a Nasal Ranger, which is a foot-long elephant trunk-like device that fits on the nose. Ever heard of such a thing? He then rated the stench, throughout the house, from merely "offensive" to "putrid, sewer-like, musty, swampy, musky, uriniferous and stale."

Are there others that you can think of? I rather like "uriniferous." Wink

Well, you win the putrid prize, neveu. Wink Yes, "cadaverine" would absolutely do it!
