I am being serious...

My mother-in-law is a teacher.. she had a little boy ask her the other day :

If you cannot see then you are blind, if you cannot hear you are deaf, but what are you if you cannot smell?

It wasn't a rude joke either... I assume there is no term for it?

Anyone know???

Cheers

How would you know you couldn't smell?

Because you could smell anything?

I have a particularly bad sense of smell after a nose breaking incident...

I can sense there is a smell there often but cannot make out what it is... everything is just less strong...

I doubt there is a word for having no sense of smell but it would be nice for the mother-in-law to be able to answer the kids question..

They'd be anosmic, and usually have at least a lessened sense of taste

My dog's got no nose.
How does he smell?
Terrible!!!

Boom boom!

I have a particularly cr*p sense of smell, as I was put on a de-sensitizing course of injections when I was young, to calm down some of my allergies. Never knew what it was called though...
