"Reeking hands" refers to hands that emit a strong, unpleasant odor, often associated with dirt, sweat, or a particular substance. In literature, this term is famously associated with Shakespeare's character Lady Macbeth, who speaks of her "reeking hands" in Act 5, Scene 1 of "Macbeth." This imagery symbolizes her guilt and the moral decay resulting from her involvement in murder and ambition.
