Its 'Pop' in our house, dd called it that herself and its stuck.

It is usually called flatching here
DS1 likes to embellish
mega flatch-age - humungus flartoids etc

farting-that's what it is!
I don't care if certain posters find it common!
It is what it is

parp in our house

I know someone who without irony calls them fluffywuffwuffs

dd says 'i done a pop!' with a look of utter delight on her face

when we were kids we called them 'herdus'

My mum hates fart, it was a pump, or passing wind.

DH and I fart or flufffarticate (fluff/fart), he was brought up with fluff.

I have to say I do not like my 9mo DD farting though. She pumps, and if she does it a lot she has windypops. What is wrong with windy pops?

Sagacious - that came from Blackadder. He accused Melchie of doing "Frightfully fruitsome flappy woof woofs".

I remember getting laughed at when I was at primary school for calling them "broops", which is what my parents insisted we use . So in the NotBig household we call a fart a fart. And the term gets plenty of er, airing...

I got told off in hospital by the midwife for saying that my day old dd had farted. "It's windypops, dear" she said!

My gay friend calls them "love puffs"

OMG!!!

My nan used to say 'taxi' when she farted - wtf?

Doing a fart (accompied by a huge grin) - ds (6)

fart.

Using cute little euphemisms makes it worse to my mind. Like sticking a little paper hat on a turd.

rofl at "sticking paper hat on a turd"

Fart here, so to speak.

H says, "Look, a Colorado Barking Spider!"

We call a fart a fart in this house.

Like so many others I can't bear twee euphemisms. They make it sound smellier and nastier and more sly somehow.

A good honest fart doesn't pretend to be anything other.

Oh Snippety, you have just reminded me. My ex tried to light a fart once, unfortunately though the flame caught a hold of his dressing gown and it went up in flames.

He was leaping about in the bedroom screaming "put me out" as the flames flew up the arm so I grabbed the duvet and wrestled him onto the bed (just like our sex life was really, he had no drive) and put the flames out.

It was all the aftershave and hair gel that he used to wipe on the sleeves that had ignited.

However, after he dumped me three days before our wedding, I wish I had let the bastard burn! .

fartles

actually dd3 says 'I did that pop' (she is 2)

DD aged 3 says I've done a "poo burp!!" - quite original

Fluff, although to be honest I'm with nickytwotimes on this one. Celery I've never met anyone who used the same euphemism - I thought dh made it up, but maybe not dh's family also use trumps, and like to make a big deal out of them (dh farts a lot) all that smelt it dealt it stuff. My family never mentioned them... I'm a little windy if a comment was absolutely required. Repressed, I think.

My dd used to call them 'bubble smells' when she did them in the bath.

Ooh when I was a child farts did not exist. What they were called was never an issue because they simply didn't happen! I still fail to find them amusing in the slightest but DH and the DC do I had to gag the children recently when we went for a walk with my dad and he let out a little fart with every other step for a few yards. They nearly died

farts here. When ds (3) was just walking he'd stop in his tracks and then announce "fart, mummy" in a matter of fact voice. And if he's working up to a trip to the loo he'll announce "I'm a bit farty. I think I'll go for a poo."
We are working on honesty vs. too much information

I'm with Orm on the funniness. Can't really see it, esp as dh is ridiculously farty and I find it annoying. I'd like to feed him charcoal biscuits
