For hating the word 'fart?'

[BaconSand]

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

You should all stay away from Denmark, particularly the town of Middelfart. Also avoid driving because nearly every village you come to has a sign that says din fart and then your speed flashes up on a screen.

The horror, the horror!

Bottom burp?

The German word for exit from a car park is ausfahrt.

Windy pop 😂

Grunts!
That's what we called them at school.
"Who's grunted?!!" 😂😂

I can't believe people find the word fart offensive. Some people really need to get a life 😂

Have you just stepped off the set of The Young Ones ?

That and " let one go " 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

@MissMaple82 - I AM Victorian lol! I mean I do cough and sneeze - but any other bodily function - just no!

Bottom burp

Fart is fine. All of the other supposedly more polite terms (trump, puff etc) make me cringe.

Trouser cough is awful but makes me giggle 😂

I love this, it’s so inoffensive 🤣

I always thought it was a rude word and none of us used it, we said blow off.
I don't care now and its preferable to a lot of other descriptions,ie. Bottom burp

My six year old has suggested “trouser rocket.”

It is offensive to those wearing skirts 😁

Farts or jam tarts in our house. Anything else is pearl clutching and cringe!

Our family said 'blow off' when we were younger, fart as we got older.

We just say 'passed wind' now

Fluff, or, pre-Donald, Trump.

We also say farted.

My cockney in-laws say, "'Ave you s**t?" Which is nice.

It was good enough for Chaucer, so it's good enough for me.

Mumsnet is seemingly full of totes hilaires posters whose families spend all their time running round farting loudly while everyone in the vicinity wets themselves and cries with laughter and thumpd cushions to try and quell the hilarity before going out and buying a new laptop to "vote this thread for classics" seeing as the old laptop has had tea spilt on it.

In the real world, once you're past the age of about 9, it's a word that's relatively irrelevant I'd have thought. Everyone does it. You try not to offend others by doing it. Nobody needs to discuss it.

Check out Roger's Profanisaurus for lots of alternative terms:

Kicking the piper
Letting some air out of the balloon
Sigh of relief
Air guitar
Hurrican on my tail

And Queen Elizabeth I apparently.

flatulate sounds like something Kath and Kim would say 🤣

Except they would call it ‘a fatulates’
