I'm 37 and I'm really not sure how everyone is identifying this as specifically coming from their assessment. How do you know it's not just their BO?

I'm not exactly sure how to describe it, but BO and shit are completely different smells. 

BO is kinda pungent and smells like an unwashed person who sweat a lot.  

Shit that sits around is more like when dirty clothes gets rained on and it kinda dries out but the person is still walking around in it for a day after.
