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

My 'orrid ex was called Gary so that's a winner!

Not entirely derailing but I recently pondered with DP about why, with children, do we often repeat the word we've used especially when it comes to toilet habits? Example; poo poo, bum bum, wee wee. I'm definitely guilty of this!

I read the first 15 responses and nearly cringed myself into an early grave.

Bum puffs.

Bloody hell.

Thought of another one, “shout out to my ex!” Said after a fart.

When I was aged around 9/10,my friend's mum used to call them a 'botty boom'.

My friend calls them fluffs.

As a kid we used to say bloff! Short for blow off! I remember a very camp kid at school calling them botty burps! We generally just say fart!

@ALongHardWinter
I like botty boom!

We sometimes used to say boff (which, like pump, I'm aware also means sex in some areas). It can't have been only local to us in the Midlands, as I always recall Vic Reeves arguing with Frank Bough on Shooting Stars as to the correct spelling of the latter's surname!

The name in front of Frank's seat said 'Boff' - and when he informed them that was wrong, Vic insisted "No, it IS 'Boff' - as in the fart!"

That sounds like the title of a gritty art-house feature film by esteemed director Michael Windybottom

@TabithaTumbler
I’ve only heard “The fox has passed” from one old bloke about thirty years ago. It makes sense as foxes do leave a strong scent. He was a strange bloke though.

We started calling it windy pops when the DC came along

When I was growing up in our house we had to call it a “bill” then we had a Bill Family, They would have coco bills for breakfast and go on holiday to Selsey Bill and loads more crackers abbreviations which I can’t remember. Looking back it sounds crazy but we all used to fall about laughing at our Bill Family. We also called them Billy BoLoffs
Farting was deemed a swear word

Fart "emit of wind from the anus, not in polite use".

@CallMeK

Why do you have to call it anything?? Why talk about it/draw attention to it? Filthy.

Did you hear the word “shame” a lot when you were growing up?

Fart here, definitely.
The worst word has to be pump - meant to be a twee euphemism but actually descriptive in a particularly weird unpleasant way.

Apparently in the USA 'who cut the cheese?' is a euphemism for 'who Garried?'

@PurpleParrotfish
Is ‘pump’ meant to be twee? On the basis that it means to force liquid or air in a particular direction, I’d have thought it just sort of evolved naturally.

NB The Shorter Oxford Dictionary has ‘copulate’ as one definition of ‘pump’.

Try it...

A medical professional would probably say you passed wind, so I guess that’s the polite term. We use a variety of colourful euphemisms in our house.

DC and I are basically just teenage boys who giggle about farts though. DH is not amused.

An expression I've heard a few times over the last couple of years is 'I"ve just let Jim out of prison".

If fart isn't permitted, where does that leave shart? You can't have shart without fart.

It's a fart here, it may be other things as well (Gary is good, having that!), like 'STINKER!' and 'sorry........!' and '8 out of 10', ripper, guff, 'omg did your arse fall off?' (usually aimed at a dog).

Farts are farts.

And, I submit, yer honour - farts ARE funny.

If fart isn't permitted, where does that leave shart?
