N: Is that sound cloying to you?
L: No. What? Cloying? Why'd you just pull that out?
N: D & I at work pull out $5 words during conversations to see who can use the biggest and most impressive words.
L: I see. And you really think that cloying is a $5 word? Who wouldn't know the word cloying?
N: Well. You? Maybe.
L. Uh. Yeah. No. I know the word cloying. I use the word cloying. I taught you the word cloying. It'll take a $20 word to stump me.

Not sound, smell. Cloying refers to smells.
