EN: pungent; acrid; reeking
That smell that hits you in the face and makes your nose hairs curl? That's "musangsang". It’s the smell of a blocked canal, durian (for some people), or a garbage truck passing by on a hot day. It's a smell so strong it almost has a physical presence. It's the opposite of "mabango".
The root word 'sangsang' also means a strong, often unpleasant, odor. The 'mu-' may be a variant or intensifier.
Describes a very strong, usually unpleasant, smell.
