[_Joy_](http://time.com/4161779/joy-movie-accuracy-fact-check/) star Jennifer Lawrence sat down with [_Glamour_](http://time.com/4167451/jennifer-lawrence-amy-schumer-movie-adele-emma-stone/) to discuss her greatest food invention, her favorite swear word and, generally, to [“tell it like it is.”](http://video.glamour.com/watch/glamour-cover-stars-jennifer-lawrence-tells-it-like-it-is)

“Hi, I’m Jennifer Lawrence,” she begins. “Have you been hiding under a rock? How would you not know that?”

The first question she tackles is about her signature scent — which she says is probably just red wine. “I’m sure it’s always seeping from my pores. I smell like a cabernet.” Next, she discusses her best food invention, which is something called a “chili pizza sandwich,” which is pretty much exactly what it sounds like.

J.Law is notorious for her potty mouth, so she also revealed her all-time favorite swear word: f–kery. “I feel like everyone gets that. This is a bunch of f–kery. And it’s not technically a word but it makes complete sense and comes out of my mouth a lot.”

Lawrence also discusses how physically tough women are and who she’d call to help her hide a body.
