'halitotic' misspelled
This is just an educated guess.
'halitosis' is the condition of having an offensive, fetid breath.
'halitotic' is the adjective; a highly irritating bad breath (like a garlic-anchove-filled laughter.. yikes!)
I'm almost positive the author either made a mistake or purposely tried to use a unique, twisted, non-exitent word. If you read the lyrics in full, you'll see.. :)

Koszi a pontokat - nem angol-angol volt ez a kerdes meg tegnap? Kulonben magyarul valaszoltam volna.. Fura! :)
