AIBU to think children using the word fart is vulgar?

[Fizzielove]

DH and I have had a long standing disagreement regarding the DC using the word fart - I won't allow it and he has pointed out to the DC's that it is not a 'bad word but just one that I don't like them using.

AIBU? or is he?

Oh . I remember 'blow off'. I think dsis used it in a particularly prudish phase. Maybe it was an 80's thing?

It's all fart here. Guff is a good one also, more descriptive of those warm wafty ones. My dad used to call guilty parties "Eggy guffer".
LOVING 'jobbie sneezes'.

Jo4040, do enlighten on the nuances between farts, trumps, pumps and fluffs...

What are the really, smelly eggy ones when you have a D & V bug called?

here is a good one for you lot -

'I coughed in my knickers'

'eggy guffer' is brilliant, so evocative!

Sunny, for some reason that just makes me think of a fanny fart

I don't mind it personally

I've heard the term "Love puff" for a fart. I usually use "Bubbly bottom" at work.

(I work with children. I'm not an MP or anything.)

MerryMarigold that would be a 'beefy eggo'.

I like vulgar.

pump means shag. Surely using that is way more crude and vulgar!

I had a colleague who used the word "parp" which I've preferred to "fart".

As soon as mine went to school it became fart though.

I love the word fart! I just think it's a great word.

Fart.
FART!
Farrrrrrrrrrt.

I agree that fart isnt a 'bad' word but I don't like it one bit, it just sounds horrible. For kids I think pumped or tumped is a suitable alternative. I don't like saying fart but I think the other options are too childish for an adult. Now I think about it, I don't know what I say? I don't suppose it comes up in conversation that much?

YABU, it's not a rude or curse word. Pick your battles OP, you'll have a hard enough time when they become teens and start dropping real unpleasant words.

I use fart, the children use it. I don't see it as a bad word. I hate all these stupid fluffy words. Why not just use the proper word. Are you one of these silly people who don't call a penis, a penis?

Tumped?

What sort of word is THAT?

Does anyone seriously ask their five year old if they've wiped their anus?

ha ha ha AndyWarhol

'have you wiped your anus darling?'

er no, I think I might have used that shocking and dreadful word .... bum......shhhhhhhh

We use willy, bum and fart. Not all proper words!

Me, Ds 5 and dd 3 all say fart, then titter about it in a highly childish fashion, so unsurprisingly Dunoon, Ada, corgis, dropping the kids off at the pool have me in tears right now. Brilliant. Use of fluff or shudder pop offs seems entirely restricted to those who call their mums mummy when old enough to know better.

I will take "fart" any day of the week. When I first met now-DH, he used to call them "flappy woof-woofs".

Fart is what it is called.

There's a v funny sentence used when learning Swedish for English speakers:
“It’s not the fart that kills, it’s the smäll” (fart means speed in Swedish, smäll meaning ‘impact’, but pronounced ‘smell’).

I don't like the word fart. Me and DH use it out of earshot of the kids. They aren't allowed to use it. We just say burp although I do question why the hell we even need to discuss it.

It made me laugh the PP that said they don't say bum and loads of posters saying how daft that is. I grew up with my GPs and I wasn't allowed to refer to wind at all, but was a no no as was poo and wee and periods, sanitary towels. My nan would just whisper "do you need....anymore" or sometimes she would actually use the letters "s.t."

Even now she refers to wee as water. Dd was potty training and my nan had her and I asked if she used the pot and I'd either be told she had been properly or it was just water. Then I would point put that it was actually wee and it isn't swearing. Recently my cousin visited her and my nan pointed out in horror that she used a swear word then spelt it out. No dear reader, not t w a t or w a n k e r. That well known swear word s n o t. I did point out that she was being ridiculous and it is not swearing. She actually was horrified that I allow the DCs to use it. Good job she doesn't hear what comes out of my mouth!
