For hating the word 'fart?'

[BaconSand]

This is something me and ex MIL had in common. AIBU?

My mum told us to call them windy pops😂

I was brought up to say ‘pump’ . When he was 7 my dgs whispered to me that he knew ‘the f word’ . He told me it was fart and very rude!

Oh! Makes sense haha

'who's dropped their bat?'

I wonder if you can guess what I call them? 😀

Thank you all for all a good laugh tonight.

back door breezer 🤣🤣
flumps 🤣🤣
My husband either lifts the sheets, and then blames me, which sometimes he is correct 🤣, or basically he just drops his guts xxx

Blow off
blow off
pick your nose and show off 🤣🤣🤣

Not just in Scotland!!! I think it means the same in most of the UK lol 😂

"Guff", as in "who's just guffed?", was another one from school. Goodness the memories come flooding back about a word I'd not thought about for maybe 40 years!

I've got nothing personally against "fart" but it's a bit of an abrupt and abrasive sounding word - perhaps a bit like the kind of thing it describes.

One of the many good things my wife brought to our marriage was the word "boff" (as mentioned above). Our kids have grown up with it and we invariably use it ourselves when necessary, as in "Sorry, I've just boffed". It offers due warning but in a vaguely warm and humorous manner...

Queef. Hehe

Yes dear?

My inlaws say “let off” which is fingernails down a blackboard unpleasant to me.

they also use pump which is pretty bad.

fart it is.

God you sound victorian!! You do FART though you probably fart all night long

We were banned from saying it too. My Mum
loathes the word - finds it common and crass, so we were never ever allowed to say it.
As a result I don’t use it either and neither do DC.
My DH will say it occasionally but not really but his Dad says it all the time and it makes me cringe. I was brought up to believe it is more awful than swearing and so I never ever say it.

It’s a perfectly normal word to use I’m struggling to understand what is so wrong with the word fart what would you call it instead a bum burp.

My mother always said flatulate

Husband from up north says pump so it’s stuck!

Boff?

There are an awful lot of people on this thread trying to prove how naice they are, aren’t there? ‘Fart’ is a good honest Anglo-Saxon word. Nothing wrong with it.

Fart was considered akin to swearing when I was little. We said trump and I remember being faux shocked when my cousins of the same age used fart.

My kids say trump. My 7 year old has said fart and I've heard his mates say it but I still feel it's a naughty word!

Boff is throwing up surely?

Did I just hear someone say “back door breeze”…… 🤦‍♀️

It's a fart, we all do it. It's not a word I can get all bothered about.

My dd thinks farting is absolutely hilarious and is absolutely proud of her ability to “let one rip”

Me too. I never actually taught it to my dc until five years old, when, of all places, he learned from a factual book answering children's questions. Now he uses it and it sounds so wrong to me!
I used to called them 'pardon me'. Did you do a 'pardon me'? 😂

We had to call it 'blowing off' or 'breaking wind' as children, but the rebellious child in me now delights in letting my kids say 'fart'. It's one of those no-nonsense words that fits just fine.
