Rain-ysh,
You reek? What's the meaning of it?
What does it mean? = (What's it mean?)
"To reek" is a verb meaning " to give off, or emit fumes, or a strong odor".
You can reek of perfume. You can reek of garlic.
When used absolutely (all by itself) as in
--You reek!--
it usually means that you smell very badly, that you give off a very strong unpleasant odor.
"To reek" can also be used figuratively.
The country reeks of totalitarianism.
The plot of the story reeks of commercialism.
The apartment reeked of poverty.
