Poppers.
DD1 3 went through a stage of saying everyone did pooh stinking poppers!

Saker · 22/08/2006 22:16

Ds2 says his bottom is "dinging" (not my word I hasten to add...)

Surfermum · 22/08/2006 22:28

We parp.

So it always makes me giggle when I see it on here.

...but as I say the French equivalent, which is 'prout', dd tends to say that (so no one has a clue what she's on about).
DH thinks its cute so farts in our house are now (dh's pronounciation) proots.

trumps. we sing - nelly the elephant packed her trunk and trundled off to the jungle, off she went with a trumpetty trump, trump, trump, trump!!!

Saturn74 · 22/08/2006 22:34

Like TooTicky, we PARP! In my case, due to reading too many copies of Viz in my teenage years!!

Trumps in our house. Our friends say fart as does their toddler and I am always a little shocked as it was a very naughty word when I was little.

fluffymum · 22/08/2006 23:08

smellies

Piffle · 22/08/2006 23:11

farts
and then categorise into dry or wet
makes no difference, dd will only ever fart on a toilet...
The 12 yr old ds however is not quite so selective...

Gingeme · 22/08/2006 23:23

Me too laundrylover. We call them 'pops'.

misty · 22/08/2006 23:30

popernoski.
bet no-one else uses that

aussiegirl · 22/08/2006 23:31

DD 2.1 calls them poofs or foofs. Always announces loudly when she or anyone else has done one. Not good in Tesco!!

WigWamBam · 22/08/2006 23:31

Fart was a very naughty word in our house too, laundrylover ... I got such a wallop the day I came home and told my mum that I'd heard a new word for "letting the wind" and that it was "fart".

"Letting the wind" ... so twee. I take great joy in using the word "fart" in front of my mother these days

maazaa · 22/08/2006 23:46

We called them "pumps" and poo was "nobles". I thought this was normal until everyone at school said we were weird..... My relly's called them "let-offs"!

MamaG · 22/08/2006 23:47

pumps, although DS insists on calling them pops and shouts POP everytime somebody does one. And then keeps shouting POP until it is acknowledged!

HyacinthB · 22/08/2006 23:56

fart - anything else is just too bourgeoisie

hairymclary · 22/08/2006 23:58

I can't stand trumps or pumps. I have no idea why though lol
we just call them farts

NotAnOtter · 23/08/2006 00:15

trump or boff

NotAnOtter · 23/08/2006 00:15

occasionally guff

ghosty · 23/08/2006 00:17

broken wind

No, not really ... we say fart

VeniVidiVickiQV · 23/08/2006 00:18

Pop-pop

DD (3) is facinated with them atm...and if she hears one, she has to ask who did it....and tell you that it "shtinks"

suzywong · 23/08/2006 00:20

Dar-pee

Chinese dialect for fart
