What does Make A Stink really mean?

Alright, kiddo, so when we say someone is "making a stink," it means that they are causing a big fuss or drawing a lot of attention to something. Imagine if you had a stinky, smelly sock and you waved it around at everyone, making them go "eww" and covering their noses - that's kind of like making a stink, but with words or actions instead of a smelly sock.

It's like when you really want something to change, and you're so passionate about it that you can't help but speak up and stand out. Maybe you feel like something isn't fair, or someone is being treated unkindly, and you want to draw attention to it so people will do something about it. That's when you "make a stink" - you're making sure everyone knows about the issue and pushing for things to be better.

So, if you hear someone say "oh, they really made a stink about that," it means they were really loud and passionate in trying to make things better. It's like being a cheerleader for what's right and trying to get everyone to pay attention and take action. Does that make sense, or do you need me to explain it another way?
