What do your DC's call "passing wind"

DH calls it pooting (which I think is awful).

Botty cough??

FART.

My mum calls it pooting too and still frowns at me if she hears me say fart.

I therefore tend to to say it more often than necessary I think. Well she is being a silly sausage about it!

Dd bellows "TRUMPY BUTT" and waits for praise and adulation.

When we were children we had to refer to it as "Doing A Rude Smell" .

ooooh, my poor dh, I am an absolute prude. We weren't allowed to say fart when I was a child. I still wouldn't say it in front of my Dad, and I am no spring chicken!!!

We say a cringey "pimping"

trumping

(I say farting)

BroccoliSpears I think you are my long lost cousin.

That's what we had to say too. Obviously wind and other "rude smells" (caused, for example by using the toilet) were seen as tremendously common and well, rude as you already know.

Trumping here too. Although DD2 went through a stage where she called it flumping

Is trump regional? I only heard it when I moved south to the midlands - as a geordie child all we did was fart! My dc all say trump and I'm not sure where it started.

I was brought up with windypops which is ghastly.

I hate fart. Really grim.

My DH taught DS2 'parp' before I'd had chance to consider it. Both he and DS1 (19mths) now do it and then yell PAAAAAAAAAARP and fall about laughing every time i.e 100 times a day. Charming!

Oh god as children we had to call it 'doing a smelly'.

DD refers to it as farting. Anything else is twee IMO.

Fart (and I grew up in a strictly windy-pops household...)

luckylady trumping does seem to be more common in the Midlands I think! (the word rather than the behaviour I mean).

Sometimes the term "blow off" is used instead - very common [shudder]

We are Midlands Trumpers.

It's a cross between the bellicose, provocative "Fart" of the North, and the primping, whimsical "Botty pop" of the South.

Trump DD
Fart DS
Trumpet - as in "who has just done a stinky trumpet?" thats mine.

I'm thrilled so many of you call it a fart, I thought I was alone and mildly bad for referring to it as that with my 2 dd's. Thats made my day! (it hasn't been all that exciting a day...)

I'm from the West Midlands and at primary school the other kids used to say 'trumping' or 'blow off'. I was considered posh for my 'doing a smelly' phrase.

fart here too

Yes perhaps we are more balanced here in the Midlands, Colditz and AA.

Trumping.

DD trumps, or in her words, "TUMP".

DD2 calls them 'boings'.

Too much Tigger, too early.

Fartypants (doubles as a general term of abuse) which I know is cringeworthy, but I was brought up in the same repressed school of "making a rude smell" as BroccoliSpears and Onepiece of lollipop, so I still can't quite bring myself to just say fart. Well not in front of my mother anyway.
