| | Where do you buy your smellies?
I was wondering where you usually stock up on cosmetics perfumes, smellies and why?

Duty-free for perfume- because it's duty free . Smellies: I burn a match and chuck down the toilet. You are talking about Chihuahua doodies aren't you?

Right after Somalia, Afghanistan and the Congo.
Anyway, lots of smellies down the Bahnhofstrasse in Zurich, but be prepared to remortgage your house before setting out.
Duty free really is the way to go.

Whereas I would ask for perfume? Are you are saying "Chihuahua doodies" is what you call perfume too? I have learned something today, more England*-slang. | Quote: |  | | | It's on her list, I'm sure.

I continue to think it is a sh*t(e for you Englanders)-hole, but not because of the smell(ies). *England. I did not use "UK" as not to offend everyone..

I have learned something today, more England*-slang. | | | | | The Urban Dictionary lists 4 definitions of the word "smellies". One is the British slang for perfume, the other 3 are the more negative meanings of the word. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Smellies |

"Smellie" is slang, isn't it? And just as bad as text-speak sometimes.
(*) = put in your own "English" word.
Back OT!

duty free generally. I dislike the word "smellies" as much as "bits". The cheapest place I have bought perfume in is on the ferry between calais and dover.t he booze is also very cheap, you can get a bottle of malt for gbp 35 whereas in globus it costs chf 140-

Smellies you say, if you stand on the train platform you will be puffed fug's smoke into your face anyway. Why not get onion or garlic to immunize yourself instead  I eat garlic smoked sausage with onion philadelphia cream.
I got my Diesel from Coop or Migros malls. Large shops have selection of good smellies! (I like the word "smelly" and cannot resist using it)

Back OT! | | | | | I think you are confusing 'slang' with 'colloquialism', 'smelly' is a perfectly acceptable English word, in this situation it is being used in a jocular fashion in the respect that it is conventional these days to assume 'smelly' indicates a 'bad smell', were as it actually doesn't mean that. A similar conflict in popular English usage and Standard English usage happened when Samuel Johnson was told, 'you smell!' to which he replied pompously 'You smell, I stink!' Because of course 'to smell' is an action and 'smell' is correctly a verb. To indicate that 'smellies' is slang indicates that it is incorrect, when in actual fact it is conventionally more correct than our continental cousins might like to accept.

I've a serious question. Is the use of this word class related?
How ot can all this be?

Why: only Globus and Jelmoli stock them (I prefer Globus)
Smellies: used to be at the duty free
but I don't travel as much now that I have 2 little kids. I tend to buy most of them now from the Pharmacy near where I live as its more convenient than going into Zurich city.
