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!
