“Stinknormal” consists of “stink-” and “normal” (normal). Here, the word element “stink-” intensifies “normal” and has nothing to do with a bad smell.

A completely ordinary computer is enough for this task.
Common collocations are “ein stinknormaler Tag” (a completely ordinary day), “eine stinknormale Familie” (a completely ordinary family), and “ein stinknormaler Mensch” (a completely ordinary person). The word can therefore refer both to everyday situations and to people.
