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

What can we call them?

Trump or Parps.

Accusatory- 'Did you just let rip?'

It must be a topic of conversation in our house every day!

I was getting worried that I'd imagined it.

MistressMolecules · 09/11/2016 01:23

Pumps. I don't like Trumps (of either variety) and I don't like farts either.

TeddyIsaHe · 09/11/2016 01:23

Fuzzies in our house! Can still picture the look of horror on mum's face of we ever said fart. My ballet friend used to say trump, and even that was too much for delicate mother!

A particularly squeaky one gets the enquiry "New shoes?"

Other than that, farts or guffs. When I was little it was blow offs.

orangeterry · 09/11/2016 06:04

Pups

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeG0es · 09/11/2016 06:11

Fart. I can't bear pump but don't mind most of the others.

DomesticGoddess31 · 09/11/2016 06:21

Anyone else giggling at this thread? Grin

Grew up calling them "pups" which is pretty common amongst caribbeans i think.

Now i just say fart.

bingandabong · 09/11/2016 10:18

We call them pop offs

youvegottobekidding · 09/11/2016 10:54

Farts
Pumps
Bottom burps
Blow offs
Break wind
Trump (do u think the other unpleasant one knows what his surname means over here 😁)

Temporaryname137 · 09/11/2016 11:31

Usually I call a fart a fart. With DD, who is 14 months, I say, "did you do a farty?"

Lolly86 · 09/11/2016 11:31

Pops

Horsepower9 · 09/11/2016 11:34

At boarding school we called it Shooting bunnies to be said "oops just shot a bunny" as you made the sound.

thethoughtfox · 15/11/2016 21:48

We started using 'puff' for the toddler.It sounds much nicer.

SpeckledyBanana · 15/11/2016 21:49

DS says fart. DD says Trump.

finlayargyle · 15/11/2016 21:50

Toots

2kids2dogsnosense · 15/11/2016 21:50

Pumps

SueGeneris · 15/11/2016 21:56

Thunderpants.

But also farts.

bertsdinner · 15/11/2016 22:12

Used to use trumps, but not said it or used it for years. Fart was a semi swear word in our house when I was growing up, whereas trump was ok.
Usually say farts or guffs now. My sister says "dropped one".

EsmeCordelia · 15/11/2016 22:18

BOOM!

1pink4blue · 15/11/2016 22:19

Warts for the little ones (sounds like fart but with a w)
Fart for everyone else
When i was a child it was blow offs

hopskip123 · 15/11/2016 22:20

I think calling a fart a trump is very appropriate Grin

WaitrosePigeon · 15/11/2016 22:20

Fart

2kids2dogsnosense · 16/11/2016 09:39
