Sure, the daily bath or shower takes care of all the bits and pieces , but still we only can assume this wàs about personal hygiene. Never mind, lets rub it off. :-)

Personal hygiene is to do with washing the bits that stink, really! Edit: the bit that smells is, of course, yor nose!

Confusion often occurs when someone comes in asking for a word without giving a possible context. It's not clear if sorrow meant lack of hygiene or lack of hygienic appearance. The answers were all on looks, appearance.
