"Being exposed to sweat produced under happiness induces a simulacrum of happiness in receivers, and induces a contagion of the emotional state."

"Somebody who is happy will infuse others in their vicinity with happiness."

There is no happy smell like the smell of a happy cheerleader that you are dancing with after the game.

The verbs "to sweat" and "to weld" are the same in German: schweißen. But the nouns have gender: Die Schweiß (weld, bond) is feminine but der Schweiß (sweat) is masculine.

Makes sense, huh?

Thanks to thread, I watched Shiny Happy People.

I now know that the shiny was perspiration.
