Bad language current at the most ment

Not bothered by the word at all.

Love that HeavenLeigh

When my daughter was small she used to say oops my bum did a burp ! ??

I don't particularly like the word fart, but I really don't class it as 'bad language'.

I don’t like the word - I find it childish and vulgar. We certainly were not allowed to use it a children and l did not let my own children use it either. I think if it had to be mentioned at all, we would have used the word trump or loud report. If we did lapse in this direction we were expected to say “pardon me.” While there are far worse words, its seeming ubiquity among some of the population is yet another part of the coarsening of society in general.

I have to admit that the word 'fart' makes me cringe. It's probably because it was a word we were never allowed to use. My mam hates it. We had to use the word 'trump' which, having seen the last US president, seems somewhat apt.

That said, I am a bit partial to a spot of toilet humour and so am much more tolerant of the odd fart than my mam.

That's what we said, if we must mention it at all.

I didn’t know the word when I was growing up. It was letting off or blowing off.

Fart isn't my favourite word; I didn't allow my daughter to say it when she was small, and she was always a outraged both by the word and deed.
(which made it all the funnier if someone let rip)

Her boys had to say 'pop' if they must refer to it.

I'm too worried about other things to bother about being offended by that word, quite honestly.

Showing disapproval of certain words makes it more certain that children will make use of them. Do I care what the expulsion of wind is called. Why? It is what it is. At the other end (so to speak) who disapproves of belch and burp?

Doesn't bother me in the slightest - there are far worse things to get offended at.

I don't like the word and would not use it.

Hilarious Terri I know some people who hope for an innocent dog so it can be blamed for their own laxness!

No problem with the word fart.
In French it is péter.
We have a couple of English friends called Peter ???.

We have what is known in our family as SBD s(silent but deadlies). Obviously it's not something to come out with when out with company but honestly it's a bodily function and keeping them in can cause a certain amount of discomfort, which is why I'm never too adventurous with my yoga moves -they're too hard anyway my regard for others.

We were at a gathering a while ago and someone let one drop, not me, moving away from where the foulness emanated from
not wishing to be associated with it, I did say to my vegetarian companion "was that you?" to which she replied "I can assure you that mine smell nothing like that, that's coming from a meat eater!" Then we saw the culprit lurking under the table, The Jack Russell of the home was moving surreptitiously round the room dropping them left right and centre, whilst everyone was doing their best to move away from where the last one was rising up from clearly hoping no one would think it was them

Doesn’t bother me, ‘excuse me I’ve passed wind’ would cause more hilarity in our house.
The contestant may have meant his wife does it accidentally, some people with diverticulitis or IBS can’t help it.

Children round here are taught to say trumps but are usually saying facts by age 7 ish...doesn't bother me as a word

My dad used to say “who let off and didn’t let on? It was usually him!

My dad wouldn’t allow us to use that word. Even now I can’t use it!

My mum used to call it letting off (wind) She didn't like words like farting.

It is only the "chattering" middle classes who object to so called bad language. The upper and lower classes dont give a damb what anyone thinks and swear away.

Cue for someone to come along and assert that there are no social classes in this country. How naive can you get.

In our family they are called 'beg your pardons'. Really nasty ones are called 'beg your parsnips'. They cause great hilarity what e er rhey are called.

It is one of those words that make me cringe.
Jokes are a bit juvenile and I can’t see why anyone thinks it ok to do it deliberately right by others.

Farting is hardly the worst I've come across lately, as a word!
