Why are there so many recent threads about farting? Are you a fart troll, @GospelOakCloak ?

Ohh yeah.....the follow through aka the fart you can't trust

A shart.

But what about a hearty mcfarty party?

ArtTheClown · 09/07/2025 21:25

In Scotland we say pump.

Omg no 😂
Pump means shag in Scotland!

My mum insisted we use the phrase 'botty burp'. I can still feel the gut wrenching embarrassment of accidently using it in front of my uni friends. I'd rather they'd actually heard me fart.

BebbanburgIsMine · 09/07/2025 21:27

I hate it too, it’s a horrible word!

I also hate s*t, just sounds so crude and unpleasant to me. I hate all swearing though, another one I’ve just thought of is “a*e.

You’d hate Sweden, OP.

The Stockholm hydrofoil ferry is otherwise known as the farty gas service.

SortingLaundry · 09/07/2025 21:31

I’m with you, op.

We say ‘pump’ in my family (my dads Scottish, my dear late Gran used to say it too)

It sounds less aggressive and a little more polite than the word fart.

We say pump or trump

My19thNervousNameChange · 09/07/2025 21:34

I ditched a boyfriend once for calling farts 'pumpydoodles'. Totally justified.

In Upper Austria, you can take the nearest Ausfahrt and visit the delightful village of Rottenegg.

My dad married a woman who used to say “wooftie” instead. Fart was much less irritating.

wooftie??

LemonLass · 09/07/2025 21:40

Never cried laughing so much at a mumsnet post (sorry OP!)

There are so many types of fart/parp/bottom thunder/trump so names can depend on smell/sound:

Rasper is a big loud rattly one

SBD (silent waft that sneaks into nostrils aka Silent But Deadly)

What do you call the long ones that, if talking onomatopia, would sound like "poooooffffft!"

Beans beans, make you FART
The more you eat, the more you FART

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Or as Bart Simpson would say
Beans beans the musical fruit
The more you eat the more you toot.

In our house it was:
Beans beans so good for your heart
The more you eat the more you fart.

Also, on our house, we say bum notes.

Air biscuit, blanket ripper, chocolate thunder, bowel howl!

BogRollBOGOF · 09/07/2025 21:45

I went running today. I did a fartlek session. Grin

There's a saying amongst runners... "never trust a fart after mile 20" Blush

Dotto · 09/07/2025 21:48

I hate 'drop your guts' and 'guff'

I like fart, or "pumpin gas, out yo ass"

My cousin says "pop-off"

Notateacheranymore · 09/07/2025 21:52

Carpet Frog and Carpet Duck are both used in our house, depending on the exact tone of said tootle.

What NO-ONE wants is the Tandoori Whisper. That emission of death that is the result of a curry the night before (or the same night, depending on your gut speed) and is SOOOO much more than a Silent but Deadly!!!

Can clear a classroom of training squaddies in 5 seconds, no stress.

If you're very good at it, you can earn yourself an extremely handsome living from your skills.

If we are naming by "types" then there is the "Little Tommy Squeaker" which I think is self explanatory!
