    Yeah my college campus had an area with Bradford pear trees and that definitely created more than one awkward conversation.

        Since no one has given you a serious answer yet, Bradford Pears are the type of tree that smells like male ejaculate.

        They even make these long strands that are covered in their tree jizz (pollen)

          The people I know who say Bradford pears smell awful say they smell like piss, not cum.

          All of the people I know who say Bradford smell like piss also have the cilantro tastes like soap gene so I always wonder if the two are related or just a coincidence in the small sample size.

          I like cilantro and think Bradford pears have a strong smell like many plants do, but it doesn’t remind me of anything in particular.

            They must consider you “polite society” so they say piss instead of jizz.

            I love cilantro, it tastes like heaven not soap. But bradford pears smell like jizz.

              Nope, one is my wife who laughed the first time she saw a meme about it smelling like cum and speculated they mixed up their trees.

        Like a conversation about why everything smells like cum amongst a bunch of 18 to 23 year olds.

        An awkward conversation is a conversation that feels awkward, often due to the subject being socially taboo.

          No, they surely referred to “college campus” with their comment!
          A college campus traditionally refers to the land and buildings of a college or university. This will often include libraries, lecture halls, student centers and, for residential universities, residence halls and dining halls.
