Not a pig's bum.

It just smells like men.

Hmm.

Mistäköhän saisit täydellisen katkarapuleivän?

Well, it depends on the context.

If I haven't had a wash, then it means I'm a bit embarrassed.

I mean, part of the issue about body odour is that it's incredibly culturally charged.

Yes, it always means a bad smell, doesn't it?

Well, if I said perfume or fragrance of your body, then that would mean something very different.

So the words are charged, you know.

And if you say body odour, then you think, OK, well, I'm a bit stinky.

And for the last 150 years, especially in the West, we've got into this situation where we're trying to keep ourselves clean and not smelling of anything.

And that is culturally very significant.

But, you know, we're animals, and so we are just charged with these glands and so on that are producing all kinds of odour.

We've got sebaceous glands, we've got apocrine glands, both of which are around our hairs.

The apocrine is sweat, sebaceous glands are producing sebum.

We've got urine, faeces, saliva...

various odours from the anogenital region, vaginal secretions, feet, and, you know, belches and farts.

So there's an awful lot going on.
