Farting or blow off ?

[Cheekytea]

Help settle a argument for me

My two and half year old finds it very funny she farts she smiles and giggles and tells everyone she farted,
Hubby not so impressed I taught her to saying farting and thinks the respectful term to teach her is " blow off " or other phrases so I'm asking you all what do you call farting in your household ? And what do they say in school etc

Thanks

Shart?

You always gotta pray you don't need to use this one!

@WhiteVanWoman91

Shart?

Shart is fundamentally different. When you fart you can just waft it around a bit. Sharting is followed by an embarrassing waddle to the bathroom before flushing your trollies away in shame

I really don't like "pump", I think it's more vulgar than fart. In general in our house it's fart or "dropped one". Or on discovering a bad smell, "right who's shit themselves?"

I howled at "Gary", you could also call it "passing Gaz"

FYI I no longer have a young child, DS is a teenager and I'd prefer the word fart to some of the other language he comes out with.....

We said puffet growing up. Fart was on par with f*ck in our household.

We say fart. But since starting school Dd says pumped. I’m not keen on saying pumps as pumped means shagged in Glasgow (where I’m from). But usually I’ll just ask if his bum has been making noises.

Poo smell. I'm done 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Welshiefluff

But 'pump' literally means to have sex, lol

Pump does not literally mean to have sex at all.

"lol"

It's does where I am in Scotland. Pumping = shagging. So I'd find that much worse to hear from a toddler than fart!

That was meant to quote the kid accusing the stranger on the train of doing a poo smell

I knew a family who called them bottycrackers. Bonkers.

Oh and we also call them parps! My mum used to say “burst off”

@mangomama91

to Gary I instantly pictured Gaarry from Only fools and horses

Gary Tank Commander for me! I think Greg McHugh would be quite pleased with the connotation

Hadn't even occurred to me that fart could be considered vulgar, it's one of my 2yo's favourite words. You're talking about gas from your arse, there's no need to make it cute. Things like 'bottom burp' really are disgusting IMO, because they are so unpleasantly descriptive. 'Bum puff' is extraordinary.

We called them trumpets at home when we were kids. I can distinctly remember reading a letter land book with the line: 'the sound of trumpets filled the air. That meant the king and queen were coming too' and cracking up when I was about 4.

Slightly unrelated but along the same lines- my mother had a relative who was very uptight about small children saying they were full after a meal (no idea why) and insisted on them saying 'I've had an elegant sufficiency'

I'm howling at the person who makes their family go outside to fart! I'm lactose intolerant so I'd be as well setting up a tent in my garden.

I personally find farts funny, including the word "fart". I don't like to do it in front of people but if DH tries to poke my stomach or squeeze me as I walk past, I'll warn him that I have "one in the chamber"

Does anyone remember the TV show Mrs. Merton and Malcolm? She made him go up and sit on the toilet when he farted

Fart

My two year old currently listens to 'jingle farts' every day on Spotify. If you don't know it (😆) it's the Jingle Bells tune made from bum puff noises. Jolly excellent fun!

My mum pulls a proper cats bum face if DS says 'fart' in her presence. We weren't allowed to say it as kids. I think she had it on a par with 'Fuck'

AlsoWho is Gaaaary from Only Fools and Horses??

I didn’t realize a fart and “passing gas” were the same thing until I was 6 or so. Up until that point I thought I had never had one of these mysterious farts.

Blow off is an awful phrase....

@NoDecentHandlesLeft

My cousin told me that my auntie overhead her fart in the toilet and went mad at her for being rude. Where exactly should we be doing it if ON THE TOILET is unacceptable??

Omg 🤣

Trumping

@Cordyceps

I would call the police if I heard anyone use the word "pump" for a fart

I never knew there were so many names for a fart 😂 I have used "who let off?" but it's a fart, even Alexa in a rather police accent calls it a fart.
