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

Blow off was a very popular West Country term for fart back in my day at school. It featured in the playground rhyme: “fatty and skinny went to bed, fatty blew off and skinny was dead”.

I use all the words, whatever is funniest at the time. Definitely adding Gary into my repertoire.

There isn't a polite word for farting because it's farting. You can't prissify it no matter what silly words you use.

Love puff is a favourite of mine at work

Since when is fart a swear word?

Since never! MN is a very strange place

If you like euphemisms ‘shooting bunnies’ is probably the most ridiculous.
At primary school we said trump or let off. I’ve only heard ‘blow off’ south of London.

My grandmother used the term "blow off" (pronounced 'blow orff'). We use fart and toot at home.

"Did you just toot on my hand?" Etc etc

Eggy biff.

It's just a fart?!

Now that’s a sudden flashback to junior school days!

My mum used to call them poo smells.
Still makes me shudder today.

DH says pump, if not heard it before DD and openly farting became a thing. I have always hated it and am now adopting bottom puff 💨

Fart

And we have a little song for it too

Loving Gary! I can feel this is going to become a way of proving you have been on MN for a while. Pom bears, naice ham, Gary, penis beaker etc!

Call them 'bum pops' here.

Seriously baffled by this thread! It's a fart FFS.

We got the kids to say "toot"

Can't stand trump or pump. Fart here, though DP did try to encourage use of 'fluffy' when DDs were very young.

I made mistake of trying to explain what 'sharting' is to 11 year old DD yesterday. One of those conversations you start, and immediately regret.

Like others I loathe the twee euphemisms. It's a fart. Bottom burp is common round here, so in this household burps are now referred to as mouth farts.

@Badabingbadabum

Trump, bum trump or just breaking wind. Although my two dds are aware of fart and use it occasionally which I'm fine with - it's not exactly a swear word! Blow off is awful.

Thanks to my dm I grew up calling them creepy mouses. As in "have you done a creepy mouse?" I think if there was a prize for the most twee, cringworthy, Victorian name for a fart, this would win it!

Omg, creepy mouse 😭😭😂😂😂

Yes, you win, that is delightfully weird

"Blow off" when I was young too but haven't heard it for years.

Everyone I know says pump; I haven't heard of pump meaning shagging

We said "fatty farted and skinny fell dead" in our school (north east)

We ask ‘what would Chaucer do?’, on questions like this.

We had to say blow off or bottom singing when we were kids, would never have been allowed go say fart.

Mine all said bottom burp when little.

We use parp!!

We call it 'cutting the cheese' in this house.
