Bad breath ball

A white ball that comes up from the back of your throat “tonsils” occasionally and it smells like absolute death if you smell it or crush it with your fingers. It is actually plaque built up from your teeth, this happens more so when you are an adolescent.

Person 1: “ oh my gosh Becky I just had the worst smelling white ball come out of my throat I don’t know what it is but it smelt so bad”
Person 2: “ that must have been a bad breath ball definitely”
