Reallly? Nobody I know uses pump🤷🏻‍♀️

Yep definitely’pump’, I didn’t know any other word for it until I was about 10!

Has nobody mentioned whizzpopping yet?

Donotgiveashit · 09/07/2025 23:02

Trump is far more offensive for more reasons than fart !

In Scotland we say pump.

Omg no 😂
Pump means shag in Scotland!

And fart too! Well at least it did when I was a kid!

A wonderful woman I worked with in a support role years ago used to proudly announce "ayy Richie. I've blown off" (she couldn't pronounce my name, hence the "richie"). Anyone within a 5 mile radius knew she'd "blown off", but her joy and relief was infectious. We'd have a little high 5 to celebrate.

Fart is the most straightforward and therefore best word.

whatcanthematterbe81 · 09/07/2025 23:10

It’s just a word tho.

YABVVU.

Fart is a great word. Poetic. Onomatopoeic.

And farts are hilarious. Always have been and always will be.

I'll upvote this!

For some reason, I'm imagining her as a Viz character now!

We don’t fart in our family we read Proust

Yes, we too are a far more educated family than these ghastly people giggling about parps all the time.

We favour much more highbrow pursuits instead, such as musical theatre. Our best-loved production is Whistle Down The Wind.

We used to call it a botty burp as little kids. Anyone else?

Didn't the Purple Ronnie Vimto ads ages ago talk about bottom burps?

Hi @BarBellBarbie
The upvote is disallowed 😂
Onomatopoeia means sounds as word spelt eg whoosh, bam, aitchoo

I would probably fart with surprise if someone's ass proclaimed the wors "fart" is it left their bottom recess 🤭

Well then instead of ‘baking brownies’ I guess you guys are ‘baking madeleines’.

I mean , I prefer "blow off". Love that turn of phrase !

Not a big fan of 'fart' my ott mother thinks it's a swear word 😅 and told us as much when we were small.

I hate "wank" - especially when used inappropriately for female masturbation. Hate it. Don't like 'tits' 'arse' either. (Well done mum, I've done you proud!)

WondererWanderer · 10/07/2025 23:07

Ooh actually no I prefer Fartykins 💨
