We used to call them 'blow-offs' when I was a child. This was from school as I can't remember using a word for it at home, it was just dirty looks and laughing about it.

There was a rhyme at school: 'show-off, show-off, pick your nose and blow-off'.

I say fart now but dd says 'bottom burp' which I had never heard before but which I think comes from her nursery.

An acquaintance who is quite strict and has a dd who is treated like a princess told this story. Her dd came home one day whispered: 'Mummy, I know what the F-word means.' Her Mum was perturbed and not happy that her dd knew the 'fark' word already. You guessed it - the 'F-word' was 'fart'. How awful!

OrmIrian - old people and farts is a funny topic! An elderly relative of mine used to do a fart every time she coughed. You couldn't help giggling because there was a time delay of a second or so: 'cough, cough....parp, parp.' It must have been the exertion. And because she was very deaf, she either didn't realise or pretended not to know she had done it and looked bemused at our stifled smirks which made it even funnier.

And DH says 'I've just floated an air biscuit'.

Bottom burps it just sounds nicer

Emily3030 · 24/09/2008 21:43

I always said windy pops. My DC now says fart I think it sounds horrid. I like parp, or parp-off. It reminds me of Noddy's car.

My DD at age 5 announced
'I like having a poo-fart in the morning cos it means I'll do a poo in the afternoon!'.......she loves talking about farts!
DD2 age 2 says 'Mummy I pump!' with a big grin on her face.

LynetteScavo · 24/09/2008 21:45

Fart.

Anything else is just wrong, unless talking to a GP, and then it would be "wind".

SpandexIsMyEnemy · 24/09/2008 21:50

not read it all by my DS who's 2.5 calls it a 'smelly trumpton'

his nanna's trying to teach him 'bottom burp' but he's not getting it!

CurrantBM · 24/09/2008 22:01

Trump/Pops DD's
Fart DH
Nothing (as I don't do them)
DB used to say trouser cough.

Tinkjon · 24/09/2008 23:08

For some odd reason it's the one F word I have a problem with. No problem whatsoever with fuck, just can't say that f**t one

Just used to call it 'having wind' but DD gone on a bit of a Doctor Who obsession lately and she suddenly said she was 'being a Slitheen', so now we call it that - if you watch it then you'll know what we mean

NotAnOtter · 24/09/2008 23:11

FART is nasty nasty nasty

boff and guff are my words of choice or trump

TwoMore · 25/09/2008 11:26

windy pops, have Big Breakfast to thank for that one!

ghosty · 25/09/2008 11:29

My DD (aged 4) can spell one word. She says F.A.R.T - FART after saying 'Pardon Me' after 'breaking wind'. She got that from Nanny McPhee
Call a Fart a Fart FGS.

HeinzSight · 26/09/2008 21:31

When I was little we used to call it 'pop', now it's just a plain old 'fart'

My Nan used to make me laugh, she woudl say...

'it's a poor arse that doesn't rejoice'

Maybe we should call it rejoicing
