Mnemonic

You can’t believe how awful these smells are. You’re new in prison, so you call them all neo-smells (にお). They're neo, they're new to you.

Try to come up with some neo-smells right now. There’s the neo-food smell (prison cafeteria pizza, maybe) and the neo-laundry smell of course (your prison uniform). Can you think of any other neo-smells?
