Windy Words

Sorry to lower the tone here but what do people think about names for passing wind that toddlers use. I have no problem with my son saying "Farts" but my husband thinks that this is unacceptable. I refuse to call them "windypops", "puffs", "whizzbombs" or any other absurd euphemism. So, does anyone have any good suggestions?

Batters, thanks for telling me about the other thread, I had totally missed it, thinking 'bums and bits' was about dieting or something, so had a great laugh!
'minnie' is quite cute, I think I would go for that if I had a little girl. Frank and Beans for an older boy is brilliant!

We use 'parpy' god knows where it came from! I can never get away from the toilet humour - I have a class full of 6/7 year olds who do 'arm-pit farts'.Then I come home and my own children are doing it! Oh well, at least I can re-arrange my underwear without anyone noticing. Trouble is you get blase and forget when 'grown ups' are around and do it anyway!

My nana used to say it was her shoe on the floor, even when there was a carpet

We have taught our children to say 'wind' or 'gas'
