The smell of alcohol on a person who works in the trades. Comes from the assumption most painters are alcoholics. This works for any blue collar worker that drinks heavily
Me: what the hell is taking so long with my painter??
John: why, is he taking a long time?
Me: well, he's been in that one room all afternoon.
John: you should check to see if he's wearing painters cologne.
Me: he did have a couple of drinks at lunch.
