How Would You Describe the Smells of Poverty...?

Question

Stale cigarette smoke, fried grease, dirty dogs, cheap perfume?

How about musty cockroachiness and soiled diapers.

I've got another one!
Cat semen... <----ewwww!

You ought to be ashamed for making fun of big-boned children, "Fat Kids Are Hard to Kidnap"!

Treepeople, I smell like angel food cake. When I fart, it's like the sweet aroma of French vanilla wafting through the air. ☺

Dj Div, I think you were trying to say something rude, but I can't understand a damn word you just said.

Answer 1

The stench of a sink full of dirty dishes that when you attempt to move a dish with your pinky it gets worse when the water spills away from it. gag gag gag. Why do poor people keep dirty dishes in their effing sink. all of them do it.

Answer 2

Why would you want to describe the smell of it and not rectify it?
Seems to Me you need to work on your priorities.
Lets analyze this. (this is from someone that has gone from homeless, to having a house, and car of My own )
Cigerette smoke, yes, alot of people that are poverty stricken do smoke, but lets look at why they do. Nicotine, causes a calming effect. Helps a person deal with the anxiety of being with out finanances. ( yes vicious circle so to speak, but there it is )
Fried greese, Oh, let Me think so someone with money cant smell of fried greese for going to the very same fast food resturaunts, that jobs the people that havent much cash??.....
Dirty Dogs. The only reason "Dirty Dogs" dont roam around the rich parts is that they have money and instantly call someone to come pick up the dog, where as most people that are poverty stricken have a heart, and try to help the dog.
And last but not least, Cheap perfume. Your going to worry about someone trying to help themselves smell better???...You are complaining about all the other, then when someone trys to make themself smell better, or perhaps, try to help themselves feel better...your going to label it poverty??
Again, insted of talking about it, perhaps you would do good to go visit a soup kitchen some day. You k now not everyone that goes there reeks of grease, or smoke. There are some that are reallly trying hard to make a living for themselves, but havent enough money after bills are paid to even feed themselves. They have no choice.

Answer 3

Okay, Darling, *I* think it's a good question. You got all the smells correct, down to the poo diapers, but did you mention rotten spilled milk? Or old throw-up in the minivan upholstery? Rotten garbage? Boiled hot dogs and yesterday's ravioli?
For you ultra-sensitive people, FILTH is a state that there is no excuse for, rich or poor. You can be VERY poor, even homeless, and still keep your space clean.
