You are of course refering to noah Webster who when introduced to some peopel a a party in Hartford overheard one woman say to another My he smells bad doesn't he?

Mr Webster then in a load voice responded No madam I stink it is you who smell bad.

I truly have no idea to whom I was referring.
I just recalled the quote, is all.
Another poster says it was Dr. Samuel Johnson.
I'll leave you two to duke it out over the proper attribution....;)
