Botty burps or windy pops

And should it be a productive one the word sharted is used

We fart as well

I would never have used the word with my parents but DS1did once when he was about 5. Stunned my DF to silence.

Did Nelly the elephant have problems with her digestive system?

What's wrong with farts and burps? Can't bear the twee euphemisms.

I grew up calling them 'fluffs' as well, but when my children were small we called them' pop offs.'

At home we referred to rude noises and rude smells when I was little but at school it was called blowing off (or letting off.).
Gcs when small talked about bottom noises with much giggling. I think some of them say trump now (oldest , a teenager now, calls them Donalds!)
I dislike fart - it sounds vulgar to me but I think some other GC from another family say that.

We weren't allowed to talk about such things either.

i just tell my grandaughters that i'm having problems with my exhaust pipe [i think it's wearing out]. they fall about laughing.

We were not allowed to call them anything when I was small! We were taught to say either " I beg your pardon" or "excuse me" when we passed wind, which was the term my parents used.

I was mortified when I, obeying instructions, said "excuse me" because it happened to me when visiting a school friend and her mother said "Why dear, what did you do wrong?" not having noticed anything, and I had to explain!

At school we called them "gas bags" when no teachers were around.

This is not for the easily offended.
Anybody remember Doc Cox of the That's Life BBC programme in the 80s. He was a local resident and friend of a friend and I bought his record which he produced under the name Ivor Biggun This was the farting song and we called farts 'trouser coughs' for a long time. Like I said, don't click if you are easily offended

I seriously dislike the f word. Think it's crude and unnecessary when we have so many gentler alternatives. No wonder children giggle. Sad, methinks........

We called them pumps and at school people said "who's let off?"My DGD who is 20 months old says "I farted!"
I agree with merlot that "trump" would be appropriate these days

My 3 all say "farts" too. Little one takes great delight in producing a particularly noisy one . Horrible little boy .

When I was young ( many years ago) fart was a 'swear' word but it seems common nowadays as all my GC use it as well as the more common trump.

There are different grades and varieties - 'fart' for the everyday version; SBD for the sneaky ones; 'window rattlers' for the sonic boomers; and 'what the hell is that, what died and I can't breathe - biological warfare alert' if my son us involved (since he was a baby, and he is now 25, that boy has produced rancid gases).

We had poomps in childhood but my partner had freddies and no idea where it originated despite their being an uncle freddie. [he wasn't a farter.]

When I was a primary school teacher, we called them bottom burps.

I have always hated the word 'trump'; it is widely used in GS's household, but we 'blow off' in this house, too, CD!

I like "blow off" not least because it sounds a bit 'carry on film'. My grandsons called it a pop when little, but now try and say "fart" as much as possible.

My parents always called a fart a"blow off as in, "Who blew off?" when there was a noisy or smelly one.

They're trumps or farts on my side of the family and not mentioned on His. My DM always said my DF was so polite he'd leave the room to fart.

My DGM was prone to wind in later life and particularly generous explosions would be referred to as skirt rippers.

Must be an English expressionLuckygirl as my MiL has been dead for eleven years . She was the past master of the "trump" walking away quietly whilst one pervaded the atmosphere.?

I always referred to (the admittedly rather twee expression) "windy pops" with my children and continue to do so with my grandchildren. They use the word "trump" and consequently my grandson falls about laughing each time Donald Trump is mentioned. I don't know why, but I dislike the word "fart".

'I just did a farty fart!' (3 year old DGS)
