to ask what you call farts?

[melonandpapayaandmango]

I just noticed on the other thread there was a reference to a pump - AIBU or is this a horrible word?

They are farts in this house but I tell DD and DS1 to not do them in public or talk about them. DD's nursery call them trumps and I wish they wouldn't as she laughs like a loon at Nellie the Elephant now ...

YABU - the whole thing makes my toes curl! I have no problem with the mention of cunt, fuck, arse, cock and any other expletive aboutany thing else at all - but any mention of that particular f word or any other description just makes me boak. They don't need to be refered to - that is all.

We say fart. My friend says 'Ooo, has someone poppied ? Have you done a poppy ?' which apart from making my teeth itch and causing me to sit on my hands so I don't rip throats out was fine until her friend had a baby and called it Poppy.

Pops

sir pop a lot

Sir windy bot

used to be trumps, but is now firmly farts since ds got to 4!!

my dad used to say 'who trod on a duck?' when he let one go

DD says guff or guffed. OH calls them love puffs

Another Nottingham person here and as a child they were "trumps". Caused much mirth if had to sing hymn with a line in it about "the last trump shall sound"
Now they are farts, although my children used to call them "bottyburps"

Farts, definitely. At DS school they say "pumped" which is gross.

Actually, they say "poomped" and "kirk" for coke but this is a different conversation.

Trumps or botty coughs

Pumps, maybe it's a Scottish thing? Pmsl at euphemia

Trumps or let off

We say fart.

Hate all the twee euphemisms, so have encouraged 'fart' from an early age.

We call them farts. Love puffs are fanny farts!

When DS was a baby, it was "pop pop" - but very soon switched to farty (as in "you're having a farty party in your pants again, aren't you DS".
Mostly just called fart now, but still farty occasionally. DS is 4.8 so I'm not worried.

In our house growing up, Dad used to call them prubs or trumps.

AKissIsNotAContract - that's what I keep telling OH! I even googled it! But he's 100% sure it's love puff. I let him get on with it.

We decided not to go with fart once DS1 arrived for fear of offending (or rather other people being offended by his use of the word) so it's parp in our house (except when I forget).

I also can't stand most of the alternative terms and after reading this thread wonder if we should just call a fart a fart...

'windy bottom' when they were babies - has now inevitably become a family saying so I find myself saying FART loudly to show that I am normal -and not the sort of person who covers her sofa in plastic and has doilies-

Trumps here too. Or bottom smells, but mainly they get called trumps.

fireman sam You're not from Hull by any chance are you?

As a child I called them windy pops. I called penises tassels. Needless to say I dropped this when i went to school.

We say pump here. We used to get slagged off at school when we were wee, as my rather prim DM used the term "passed wind". We stopped using that pretty quickly
