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

I had a colleague who "parped". It's always had a ring to it since.

Anal announcement
Rectal rhapsody
Sphinctal symphony

Ring rumbler?

My little nephew calls them bum burps

No kids in this house, we fart, parp, make an announcement or launch an air biscuit.

But for the purpose of this thread, I shall offer up my dear departed relative's preferred reference, which was "to make a rude smell." You're welcome.

I grew up with it being called 'fluffing'. As in "Ew! Who fluffed?".
I don't see how calling it farting is offensive.

I have a a dictionary type book called the 'Profanisaurus', and there are loads of ways to say fart in there. Air biscuit has to be one of my favourites tbh, but it might be a regional thing, and I have never heard it here.

My grandma used to say “something must have had crawled up her arse and died.”

Or “Something is dead in the back paddock”

Trump when the kids were little the dogs a puppy pip now it’s fart unless my mother is round lol

I am slightly ashamed to say that one of the only things we ever use Alexa for is asking her to do farts. She will do 32 farts in a row if you ask her.. her ketchup fart is also quite spectacular. Ah the joys of modern technology.

We say ‘pimping” in our house.

that's a new meaning for pimping!

Farted! Or in toddler ds case sharted when he's eaten what he's intolerant too!

My grandma used to say “something must have had crawled up her arse and died.”

The Cutting Crew did a song about that in the 80s:

"Ugh, something died in my arse tonight - it must have been something I ate". Then they go on to sing about somebody's diarrhoea sitting on the bedside table.

Disgusting.

How come so many MNers are so keen for little boys to say ‘penis’ instead of ‘willy’, etc., but go all coy when it comes to a good honest fart?

But fart is, just like willy, a commonly-understood informal term - for flatulence, in this case. The NHS only use it to dumb down because it's a commonly understood word; and one that doesn't potentially have other understandings like trump (elephant bellowing, old-fashioned term for playing a trumpet or to beat/the best) or pump (what sex-people do in Scotland).

We seem to balk at some informal usage - like words for genitals - but I bet not one person on this thread has excused themselves to go and micturate (or even to urinate) this week - whereas they are reasonably likely to have excused themselves because they "need a wee".

Similarly, who amongst us frequently refers to the 'automobile' parked outside?!

Penis is an anatomically correct anatomical term. Fart is a commonly understood colloquialism, not a medical or formal term.

Any excuse for this link:

How did that post early when I pressed Enter?!

Anyway, this link -

@JunoMcDuff, ‘faeces’ is the correct word for solid human waste, but I don’t recall anyone here insisting on their dc saying that, instead of ‘poo’.

Though maybe there’s the odd stickler on here, who asks their 3 year old whether they need to have a bowel movement, instead of saying, ‘Do you need to do a poo?’

Blow off makes me think of fellatio. I say fart. Pump makes me squeamish with embarrassment, no idea why.

But what do your children say?
