Prolly both!

Nah, the only other vital thing needed with hard of thinking is hard of smelling, as far as Nobby is concerned. That, and a half-decent immune system, but I think you'd get that just by living in Ankh Morpork.

I don't remember Nobby being smelly. Outside of work he's described as a bit of a peacock, which implies he takes some pride in his appearance (well, it's all relative of course).

Verity Pushpram likes him as well, but she does smell of fish and it's possible she doesn't get a very good view of him.

I seem to remember that Angua describes Nobby's smell in terms of colours and that to her nose it is most original.

And as we know, originality is no guarantee of good quality.

Actually, I learned a new word recently which would apply to Nobby and to Foul Ole Ron: mephitic.
