grajo

Rank armpit odor caused by poor hygiene, sweat, or not wearing deodorant. It is often compared to the smell of onions or harsh chemicals. (In the Dominican Republic, a traditional, though toxic, remedy involves applying litharge, a lead-based powder, to the armpits).

Teacher, Milagro has such a damn grajo that when she walked through the school courtyard, the plants all wilted, the pool dried up, and the wall clock started spinning like crazy.
