stinking
/ˈstɪŋkɪŋ/
When used to describe a smell, it is a literal description. However, when used to describe a person or situation, it is informal and often expresses anger or annoyance. In the phrase "stinking rich," the word is used as an intensifier to mean 'extremely,' though it can sometimes imply that the wealth was gained in an unfair way.
