Botty burps or windy pops

Is trump a British expression, or do you think he knows?!

My MiL used to call them 'trumps' ?

Farts here as well

Afraid they re farts with us too Down to earth nothing twee

Years ago my mother did a rather loud one getting up from a chair during a birthday tea party. Obviously embarrassed she said, 'Oooh, I think I've ripped my skirt.'

From that day on 'ripping your skirt' became a family catch-phrase amongst the teenagers.

It was "fooff" in our house when we were little. ? Or at least that's how it sounded, although it could have been fluff Swanny.

When they were very little they called them 'pip-pips' , but all 3 little boys delight in saying 'fart' and then laughing hysterically!!

Our Grandaughter always blames the dog!

And I have trained Grampy well, IF such a thing should ever happen to me he will always say'Pardon me' and take full blame :-)

Nothing wrong with 'fart'. it's quite onomatopoeic!

I think 'trump' is common parlance with children nowadays although ours call them 'beg your pardons' after my mother heard - or smelt - one emanating from one of ours when they were small and announced 'you should say I beg your pardon'. I don't think she ever did one - she was far too lady like!!

Interesting choices from all.
My SIL has just retired from her long career as a teacher in the local primary school.
She says she has heard EVERYTHING....from simply twee to the faintly(frankly) obscene.
Such a laugh.
merlot your idea is the best!

merlot

GS's used to announce "my bum !" or who ever the guilty party was with great glee

I think ALL small children should be instructed to call them 'trumps' these days.

Such an appropriate word.

It was always 'trumps' or 'pumps' when ours were small as well.

Oh, cringe and double-cringe at 'botty burps' and 'windy-pops'...

'Farts' is fine in our family. I think the GC used to say 'trump' when they were very little.

So does mine Alima but until recently it was 'fluff', as it was when DS was a child. When I was young it was always referred to as 'a rude noise'

In our house there are two distinct types; trumps and SBDs (silent but deadly).

Fart - they are farts - and we all call them that.

Try "Noisy Bottoms" - a great book, much loved by all my DGC.

DGS (5) says 'fart" then giggles. Heaven knows where he heard that. (I know, I know, tin hat time....)
