How to tell someone their breath stinks?

Man, I work with this guy who's breath smells like some old stanky cheese. To make it worse, we work in a loud environment, so we have to yell to be heard. It's a real MF on a hot day. He's a decent guy but his breath smells like ass. It's like someone opened up a 5 year-old jar of ball jam.

How would you go about telling him?

Wear a gas mask.

Maybe wear a surgical mask one day or go all out and bring in a surplus chemical hood.

If you like the guy, just tell him. He probably has dental/gum disease and even if he brushes, his breath wont get much better. He could also have these things called tonsil lithes in the back of his throat. They look like white-yellow spots on the tonsils. They smell like shit. They are actually bits of debris and decaying food that get caught in the holes on the tonsils call tonsilar crpyts. Either way, other people must have noticed too, so tell the poor SOB!

Speaking off kiss, I don't see how his GF stands it. Its like he's been munching on some bad *stuff*.

If he's "munching on some bad stuff," tell his girlfriend to clean her shit! LOL
Or, just offer the guy some chewing gum.

Here is what you say, Don't be alarmed, but your breath smells like a rotting carcass. Look, you probably didn’t know that you have bad breath. Due to acclimation, it is hard to detect our own bad breath. Don't believe it? - Try this: Lick your wrist with as far back on your tongue as you can, wait 10 sec. and then sniff. Believe me now? Bad breath (halitosis) might be treatable. It is important to first determine the odor's origin -- the mouth, nose, stomach, or your ass. Sometimes your ass can smell worse than your breath, but in this case trust me, its your breath. . Your dentist or breath specialist can try to determine this with the help of a sulfide monitor that measures volatile sulfur compounds, which are often associated with bad breath. If you believe that this smell could have originated from a body cavity of another person and you have picked up the odor from that cavity during an oral luncheon, you must stop this activity immediately. You might want to try brushing your tongue or including a tongue scraper in your hygiene regimen. Now get the FU_K away from me.

Depends on how well you know the guy. If he's you bud, you just come right out and say it. If he's just a co-worker, try handing him mints everytime he's around. Or just sit him down and be honest and tactfull.

Whenever he yawns
yell out, "WHO FARTED???"

my one friend, who I would pick up on the way to high school had shit breath. He'd get in and my other friend who I picked up first would offer all of us gum. Shit breath always declined. Luckily it only lasted a few weeks, because we didn't want to tell him

Does the term "wet open ass meaning anything to this guy?"

Posted: 8/27/2001 2:25:36 PM EDT

[#20]

Come on now guys, you can't really say those things to the poor guy.

I got a solution that doesn't even require you to tell Mr. Bad Breath anything.

Get a transfer!!!!

One of my old bosses had breath that smelled like hot rotting garbage.
One day I asked him "Howard, do you know Karate?"
He said "No, Why??"

I said "[i]Because your breath is KICKIN'!!![/i]"[:X*]

Woo hoo! Tonsilar concretions aka sneeze nuggets! Dr. Dean had lots of calls about those. I like to use a mini maglite and a chopstick to pick those things out of my tonsils.

Wasn't their an anonymous web service that would email people about problems like this.

Anyhow, get yourself a hotmail account by some random name, then send him a pleasant email describing his problem and offering some solutions. You don't have to say anything directly to him and maybe he will get himself some help.

that's where sneeze nuggets come from!
who says you can't learn anything useful on the web.

my momma taught me that if someone offers you a mint, TAKE IT.

I thought about making my breath stinky but he might not get the message. I mean it smells like he's been drinking vinegar.

Hold a canary on your finger, 'bout mouth-high as he speaks to you. When the canary almost instantly takes the big header, your pal will get the picture...
