How do you mention to a friend...

Recommended Posts

That they have bad breath? Honestly without being rude or whatever. I have put up with it for many years and I feel like it may be time to mention it to him. it's just so yuck:P:P I'd be doing him a favor but I must be tactful...

I dunno, if he's a good friend...I'd just flat out say "Damn dude...your breath sucks today", that way you're being up front and honest, he doesn't think that you've always thought his breath was bad, and he becomes self concious of it and brushes/mouthwashes more often and with better quality

There's no easy way. Maybe a private email. About 10 years ago, I had a female co-worker whose breath was so horrid, everybody swore she ate dogshit for breakfast (I'm NOT making this up!).

I took her aside and told her about it, and suggested that she should see a doctor, because severe halitosis can be a symptom of a serious disorder, like liver problems, etc. She seemed to take it well, and didn't report it as harassment or anything (that would have been difficult...:D).

Above all do it in private, to spare the person any embarassment.

offer him a mint a tic-tac or maybe even gum


I agree, keep offering a mint throughout the day & if that doesn't work bring it up jokingly & see how that goes. That's like having something caught in your teeth & everytime you smile or talk everyone sees it. Yuk! Tell them somehow...good luck :P

I read a "similar" story a while back on the Women's Forum (scary place). Seems this chick got grossed out by the smell of this guy's ass when she was blowin' him, and didn't know how to tell the guy.

I think she just blurted it out one day, and all was well.

Dude you have two options:


1: just tell him either bluntly or more tactfully

2: pose this same question to him and ask him what he would do to let the other person know they had "ass breath". Once he gives you the answer/method, use it on him right then and there.

There is a situation with burning fat and throwing off ketones in the blood and a side effect is bad breath.
Like the Atkins Diet or a High Protein one. Also, tooth decay and tartar build up is another cause.
But the cause isnt the issue.

You could put a bottle of mouthwash in the bathroom with some dixie cups. Or find out if he likes peppermints, spearmint or dynamite. And put a jar of them on his desk or your desk. Apply liberally.

Good luck.

Hey Seb, don't forget to throw in some smart sounding stuff like the referenced "severe halitosis can be a symptom of a serious disorder, like liver problems, etc."

It does sound a little better than knocking a buzzard off a shit wagon:D

Please tell him in a gentle way as he may not know (how embarrassing) or may have an underlying health condition that causes it. :o

My own mother told someone about his breathe by referring to Phoebe's "Smelly Cat" song from the show "Friends". "By the way, you know that song "Smelly Cat"? Well..." (I am not kidding!) :D:D:D How could he be offended as she then sang a few lines? She also offered medical advice. Needless to say, he took care of his "Smelly Cat" syndrome.

About this "similar story" in the womens forum.

I would have put some serious jacuzzi rockets on his ass. But that would be my suggestion.

I dont go in that forum. It scares the shyt outta me. I am afraid I would get beat up. I have never understood my women sisters in the first place. All my buddies happen to be guys. They blurt out everything, no hidden agenda ordinarily, no back stabs, no time for gossip, no feelings get hurt, no cryin, and NO malls. Plus, if they want in my freefly pants (or if I want in their freefly pants), you know in about 3 seconds and you get that sorted out and move on. Life simplified, I think?

However, since I am a woman I reserve the right to change my mind or personailty and to do every one of the above at my disgression. Its my party and Ill cry if I want to. In addition, if I am grummpy, back the fuk up or _ I _ will _ kill _ you. ::

If I have bad breath, and you tell me- depending on the time of year- I may kill you then too.

just kidding around~:SKinda...

I was at the airport in San Diego a while ago, and this older lady w/her daughter was 4-5 people in front of me. Every time she opened her fuckin mouth. You could smell the hounds of Hell in the air off of her breath. It would just hang out and linger in the air. I was choking and getting ill off of her breath. It only took a second to identify whose breath it was. i really wanted to break ranks and cut ahead in line to tell her to go see a doctor. We were in line for the security check point and I had to suffer through her nasty breath for over a 1/2 hour.... did you tell this guy or what??

Accelerate hard to get them looking, then slam on the fronts and rollright beside the car, hanging the back wheel at eye level for a few seconds. Guaranteed reaction- Dave Sonsky
