to think a 2 year old shouldnt say fart!

[shiningstar]

a friend of mines dd says fart all the time! i dont like it and would prefer something less rude! Is it just me?

We use "fart" - before potty training we'd ask if it was a "fart doodoo" or a "weeweedoodoo" or a "poodoodoo".

Also teach kids not to trust a fart...

It's a fart.

Another pet hate of mine is people who say "poo" or "stinky" instead of what it is - a jobby.

Zombie thread from 15 years ago!

If it's coming out her mouth I suggest you taking her to a doctor!

I also wonder what the it does sound like, is it a whistling sound or a growl? 😂

There’s a bit in dr Seuss’s oh the thinks you can think about thinking up a guff. It always amuses me much more than it should.

I can’t get in any way upset about how people refer to flatulence tbh.

How annoying. I was going to post a photo of a dr Seuss guff and everything.

Where do people find 15 year old threads about farts?

A jobby?

I was never allowed to say it when i was young and I was slightly shocked when mine started saying it but it seemed to completely the norm amongst his teeny peers so I just went along with it.

Fart is not a modern use at all, been used since the 13th century.

There is a story about Queen Elizabeth I. The Earl of Oxford when giving obeisance happened to fart. He was so ashamed he left the country for 7 years. When he returned the Queen welcomed him saying “My Lord, I had forgot the fart.”

Is 'pumped' northern? That's what we say.

I had no idea anyone thought the word fart is rude...
My family and DC are therefore very very rude all the time!

I don't think I've ever read anything more British 😂

Pumps here! Though I’ve noticed the use of farts in a few kids programmes and books and while it does grate on me a little bit, I think it’s generally accepted as a tame end of rude word so I try not to cringe when my kids use it.

This. The alternatives are a million times worse. Why such fastidiousness about a perfectly natural human function.

People who use this twee euphemism are just setting their kids up for all sorts of neurosis.

In 2007 it wasn't ok. We are in 2022 now...

hahaha! Reminds me of standing in a supermarket queue, and a little girl said to her mother, "Mummy, did you just fluff?" Her very embarrassed mum, said "No" and tried to distract her 3 yr old. The little girl said "Yes you did, Mummy, because my nose is right by your bottom, and I can smell it"

I don't understand why we have decided terms like fart are rude. Releasing gas through burps and farts are normal. My son says farts at 2 as he tells me whether he is doing a poo or wee due to starting potty training. I wouldn't expect an adult to tell me they are as I don't actually care but a 2 year old says things as they are and share everything so why wouldn't they say it?

Guff is ok.

Farts all the way here.
Can't stand tweeness about any bodily parts or functions.
Grown ups saying 'poo' makes my skin crawl.

I have no issue with the word fart.

That being said, my 3 year old says "trump" and sometimes when he farts I ask him if he did a Donald 🫣🤪

“Bottom burp” is absolutely repulsive and much worse than “fart”- it doesn’t actually seem like a euphemism at all to me but rather a deliberately gross term.
