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

Jesus Christ - some of you sound like characters in Roald Dahl. Whizz-pop, anyone??! Having said that, my toddler calls it a "poo-poo noise" and thinks it's hilarious, soo...

When dsis and I were children we had different names for each type.

FLUFF almost silent, like a sigh
BRIT fairly quiet single fart
RAT-A-TAT the machine gun, multiple farts
FART really loud, make the dog jump fart

Dsis and I had a book describing the different types. We came across it when my best friend's (very) straight-laced mother referred to it once and our own mother nearly choked on her coffee.

Obviously everyone knows the SBD, but there's the Squeaker, the Machine Gun, the Sonic Boom Fart, the Convection Fart (done over a radiator so it travels up and along the ceiling and hits the other side of the room first); the Ballistic Missile Fart (same thing, without the radiator), the Dutch Oven (under the duvet, head forced under by significant other), and the one nobody talks about, the G&L. That's 'gambled and lost.'

Don't forget the Crop Duster - that takes out everybody within 50 yards.

To be honest, I always thought crop dusting was walking round the office and spreading it around other people's desks rather than stink out your own.

Blow off is eurgh....

Pump. Trump. Bottom burp.

It’s a fart . I can’t stand blow off, perp or pump. They sound ridiculous!

Farting - Queen Elizabeth 1st used the word and if it's good enough for her....

Oh, of course - it's a deliberately mobile act, designed to keep yourself as the parpetrator permanently upwind and thus immune.

My husband says pump so thats what we use!

pump and blow off sound too sexual to me.

bum puffs is beyond embarrassing

'fart' works just fine.

@AllThingsServeTheBeam

I'd laugh out loud if I heard people describing a fart as half of these names. I'd think you were taking the piss! A fluff!?!

I'm laughing out loud just reading it 😂

Blow off is bizarre.

We used to say trump

@dementedpixie

Pump/pumped As in 'did you just pump?' 'Who pumped?'

Pump is also slang for sex so I think this ones gross.

Trump is still my personal favourite. It's a perfectly good and easily-understandable description of a noise that sounds remarkably like a trumpet, albeit one emerging from the nether regions rather than an orally-activated brass instrument.

Parp is similar, really - I'm surprised there isn't more love for parping, actually (as in referring to it as that rather than delighting in the smell).

Fart. Trump if I'm being polite.
Bum puffs sounds like a homophobic slur tbh.
Blow off sounds like a blow job.

How about let off?
As in "Pwoar! Did you let off?"

Some American students talking about why their friend wasn’t in class caused some confusion as blowing off meant skiving to them.

Most folk round here say trump, including primary and nursery teachers.

Fart is a perfectly fine word. In this house we call a fart a fart. No need for twee euphemisms.

Our DDs have used the word fart ever since they could first speak. Why not?

How about:
Anal announcement
Rectal rhapsody
Sphinctal symphony

I agree with PP's.

Pump or trump are more appropriate for children.
I find the word fart crude and pull DS up for using it.

A fart by any other name…. 🌹

@Scrumbleton

Poof in our house

Where I come from a poof is something entirely different

@careerchangeperhaps something you put your feet on, with an incorrect spelling I hope. Otherwise it's a zillion times worse than fart!

One wonders what MNet is coming to sometimes. Unless you are referring to a footstool may I gently suggest you slither quickly over to Netmums.
