To ask you what you call farts

[beautifulbizarre]

They were trumps in our house but now that has been sullied due to Donald.

What can we call them?

Farty pops!

They were blow offs when I was a child.

Why do some people have a problem with the word fart? Presumably they use the words dart, cart, part etc. quite happily?

All pizzas, good question.

Fart is just a good old English word.

Legotits it was Ivor Biggun, I've Farted!
I've farted, I've farted
I've made a trouser cough
I've whistled in me Y-fronts
I've just peeled one I've
I've blown my bloody brains out
I've been eating peas
I've broken wind
I've dropped my guts
Open the window please!

DS used to love this CD in the car

We guff or fart.

I got tutted at for saying fart to my niece . Some people are weird about innocuous words.

Mainly Farts

But also
Guff
Trump (if US select the Donald as POTUS then they will have had a massive, collective brain fart!)
SBDs (Silent But Deadly)

But my own personal favourite is calling someone who has dropped one "Chuckle Buttocks".

Trumps here too. Every time the kids hear the name 'Donald Trump' on the radio in the car they laugh like it's the funniest thing they've ever heard. Quite appropriate really...

Trumps or parps for children.

Farts for adults.

"There's a mouse in here!"

Farts

A fart is a toot in our house. This was fine until DS had a huge Thomas The Tank Engine phase. Loads of "toot, toot" in the books 😳. I used to be like this 😂 trying to read them!

They are farts.

DS1 thinks it's funny to call them Donald Trumps but we've never, ever called farts trumps. I call a fart a fart.

His head once beckoned me over at hometime to tell me that DS1 had merrily said something like 'sorry, if anyone was wondering who it was who farted, it was ME!' and that he, the Head, was concerned that DS1 might get teased about his choice of language. He then paused, and said 'actually, there's nothing wrong with it, is there?'

I am taking this as licence to say Fart in school.

Toots and Pumps!

Wee call them farts. MIL called them pumps. My mum said wind. ds1 called them party farts when he was about 3 or 4. In fact my mum differentiated between 'downwards wind' and 'upwards wind'. I think this was only after she was a GM - she was trying to teach the GSs manners. She failed totally.

DD3 does "bottom blasts".

bottie burps

Farts

Since I became a grandma about 11 years ago I now refer to 'boombooms'.

My son who's severely autistic and 25 years old calls them pumpydumpys. It's one of the very few words he knows. He's nothing but profound

Is 'pumps' a Scottish term?

I certainly grew up using it.

My mum says 'de winded', can't bear it, it sounds so much worse than fart?!

Fart and the perpetrator is called fartex

My grandmother always used to say, 'Who trod on a frog?' Still makes me chuckle

When I was little I thought they were poos that popped (like balloons) - still think that now.

Still trumps in our house, which causes DS to howl with laughter every time Donald trump is mentioned on the news. Quite appropriate really.
