Farting or blow off ?

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

[quote GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER]**@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?’[/quote]
But saying poo instead of faeces doesn't increase risk of sexual abuse. Unlike using words like Minnie or flower for vulva.

We used to say did you go off or have you just gone off but now DS is a teenager it's farts all the way.

My 4yo calls it a gas leak. As in ... ive just had a gas leak 😂 he finds this absolutely hilarious. my very eldery grandmother called it a pamp. I cringe thinking of that one.

Its just a fart here

It has to be fart. Pump and bum puffs or any other twee names just makes me cringe.

Although now DC are older fart is acceptable
