I didn't think so. It is a common word.

Common word but the bit relating to "stinks" I have never heard and had to look up!

Will be tied up tomorrow so can't answer.

Like Rich, I'm pretty sure I got it (very quickly), but not available tomorrow (or for another week) so I'll pass.

A non-CCC question. Did I start the game early today? I just realized we just went on Daylight Savings Time here and I don't know if the UK goes in for that nonsense.

Interesting. I've heard it all my life. When ever you run into a bad smell you just say those 2 letters. P! U! That stinks!

At first I thought I had another bad clue. I thought maybe it was another rural or midwest US thing but Peter from OZ got it as did Rich who's from the UK so I feel a little better about this "win".
