Great comebacks when someone says you smell

What to say to say if you are told that you smell bad

Usually, you can tell if you are smelling a little pongy, but If someone comes up and tells you that you stink it can be a bit of a shock!

Maybe you had a spicy meal with a lot of garlic and onions and it is coming out through your pores. Perhaps you forgot to put on deodorant after a workout and you have been sweating excessively?  Some guys seem to have a shower and then put back on their dirty clothes, leaving an unhygienic scent wafting after them.

Whatever the reason, if people are making fun of you because you smell use one of our clever comebacks.
