This meme originates from the beloved Scottish sitcom Still Game, featuring the character Winston Ingram, played by Paul Riley. In the scene, Winston uses his sharp intuition—and his nose—to detect a fraudulent situation, uttering the iconic line: 'I think I can smell shite, yes I can definitely smell shite.' Since its airing, the clip has become a staple of internet culture, particularly in the UK, used as the ultimate reaction for calling out lies, scams, or 'hot takes' that lack credibility. It resonates because of Winston’s deadpan delivery and the universal relatability of sensing when someone is being dishonest. The template is widely used on Twitter, Reddit, and forums to dismiss corporate jargon, political promises, or any nonsense encountered online.
