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 ...

Or fart

Farts, pumps (that's a word DS2 can actually say!) and boffs, mainly. A loud fart accompanying some music tends to attract the comment "wow, that was a bum note!"

Yes, we're klassy in this house.

fart. just that. i cant bear trump, sorry

We all fart and gurk (belch) openly so no one needs to name anything that is already out there - but we do grumble loudly about those emissions where other people have to leave the room.

In return, the farter will indignantly complain we are 'mocking the afflicted' and loudly lament their 'grotesquely ripped anus'.

popoffs here and trumps, definitely not farts as I really don't like the word. Not prudish as no problem with other swear words, I just don't like the word.

My GM used to claim her foully toxic old chihuaha, who was the true biological WMD Blair never found, performed "bottom smiles".

Farts, trumps, bottom burps (thanks, Purple Ronnie).

DH is convinced that the French say "Ou est le canard?" (even though his DF's French wife looked like this ---> when he asked her about it :o ) and that has stuck in this house as our wee in-joke.

My parents used pump, it just sounds too twee though

farts- but when I was little it was pumps [giggled when I heard gym shoes referred to as pumps]

Ds1 bottom burp, rest of us fart unless granny is in earshot then it's break wind

'Pump', 'trump' or anything else that rhymes with 'dump' is just NOT ON. YANBU.

Here we call them 'boops' which I'm not that happy with (I'd prefer fart) but it's DS1's word for them. Fine. I much prefer the down-to-earth fart, but I can just about accept that in DS1's case, it might be unwise to send him to school boasting that he's just farted.

My parents used to call them 'pardon mes' , which, given they used to swear the air blue, I find baffling. They soon stopped with the pardon-me-ing when my brother came back from school saying fart, though.

DH grew up saying 'pumpy' I grew up saying 'trump'.

Like a previous poster I find it easier saying cock and cunt than pumpy

I come from the South-East and as a kid we called them "pumps" . My kids and i now call them "farts" or "pops" except my 4yo who calls them "poo poo stinks"

Toot, and the smell left behind is toot air!

Bottom burps - just don't like the f word!!

Whizz pop Bangarangs or pips

Wonder why some people dislike the word fart?

Toot and pump and pumpy are AWFUL!

Farts

Breamanaí, we call them here in Ireland - pronounced bram-an-ee!

Love the OP about Nellie the Elephant

For some reason we say Guff even though i hate the word! I cringe every time its said. I think it may have been DHs idea .

when ds(8) was little it was bottom burps, but as soon as he started school it was farts.

I was the poster who used the term "pump" in a previous thread that so rattled you, Melon! Obviously I'm truly honoured to be the inspiration for a thread on a thread .

I've always called it a pump and always will. It amuses my DH no end that I use such a prissy term when I often swear like a trooper.

Farts
or who the hell needs the toilet?

We say "who's dropped their guts" in my house!

Farts all the way. I can't stand all those twee euphemisms.
