No one cares.
I just want to learn an English word only
I stepped on a broken glass yesterday, blood everywhere.
Anyone sniffing it often could give me an answer please ? :smile:
 
I don't know of such a word, porums. I guess it's just called...the smell of blood.

Hope your foot's not too bad - did you need stitches?
 
rusty iron?
 
Thanks I don't,
Are you a doctor lisab ?

No, I could never be a doctor! I really don't like being around sick people...not exactly a phobia, more of an aversion.
 
Perhaps someone sniffs often and doesn't care to make a difference. For example, doctors especially those working in urinerology (sp?) never says so, right ?
This isnot something disgusting at all :smile:, I only want to know if someone smells it, then how he feels about it, I smell a fish I then say it is fishy although when eating sushi, I don''t smell out anything.
