"could knock a buzzard..."
One of my colleagues has just been in my office to discuss something and for not the first time she has severe bad breath... or as a friend years ago used to say ( referring to someone else )
"her breath was so bad it could knock a buzzard off of a sh*te wagon" would any of you kind souls have perhaps a gentler way to break this to her? |

Ignore everything she says and does.
Eventually, you'll hurt her feelings so badly she'll quit and slice her own throat. |

 Or a more constructive advice would be, do what Pico suggested. Or do as I do sometimes, or often, hold your breath. Yeah, I'm not very tactful so I just don't say anything at all.

Always a delicate matter. Be careful with the gum / freshening sweet option or you may end up with: "Smells like someone took a dump behind a pine tree".
I had the same kind of problem years ago. Very strong body odor, same clothes day in day out for more than a month. We tried being nice, nothing happened. Even the boss talked to him, nada. He finally resigned with a lot of theatrics about not being appreciated, etc... I believe that he didn't take too well the 3 bars of toilet soap someone left on his desk along with a scrubbing brush. That someone being yours truly

If you like her, I would actually just tell her. "Hey, Mary.. your breath is bumpin' .... just thought you should know. are you drinking enough water?" or, if you want to be subversive, ask her if your breath smells

See this is why I don't play well with others -I don't want to be so close to someone I can smell their breath. Me, I would move back. and back and back and back.
You could say, I'm really sorry, but you must've eaten something I'm allergic to.....
