What other term did your family call "farts"?

The Yiddish term is "fottsies" so that's what we called them. And my penis was called a "mekky".

Boomies.

Unfortunately, my Dad had some weird ditty that he liked to repeat, and my older brother followed suit. To preface, my name is Mark.

Gene, Gene, made a machine.

Joe, Joe, made it go.

Mark, Mark, laid a fart that blew the whole machine apart.

They always cackled over that. I'm actually a rather prim little Catholic boy who never uses common words for biological functions. My friends enjoy making me blush by using those words in front of me.

what repulsive people

Fun.

Fecalphobe at R3 chiming in.

Fluffies.

Poots

ours were named; shit-gibbon republicans

We didn’t speak of such things. Sounds like you all came from...less-than-ideal upbringings.

Blocked ^.

Flutterbusters

My parents were from the uk they would say "OOF that gives me the wind something fierce." My father would exclaim "who pumped" when someone cut the cheese.

barking spiders

R2 I too was a bit prim as a gayling about bodily functions. I'm from Central America and in Spanish the vulgar term for fart is 'pedo.' But I outright refused to say it. Instead, I used the more formal term 'ventoso' which literally means 'windy.' But I rarely talked about farts so I almost never did.

Stinkers

Gassers

Air biscuit - I don't know why. You float an air biscuit.

busters

My little brother used to call them 'invisible poop.' It was cute.

Stinkers.

R16 that's what we called it when the dog farted

Poots was a favorite. When his dogs did it my grandfather referred to it "raising dust".

We would hear our mom in the kitchen "tooting". She sometimes had gas and it was cute how she thought we couldn't hear her. Other than that, we never talked about it.

"Women don't fart, they poo-tay." Richard Pryor

Wind.

Boo-boos. Stinkers.

My brother says, "Just whispering your name" when he farts in front of me.

Oh, and I worked with a guy in the newsroom who fancied himself a great wordsmith and gentleman: He used to refer to them as 'personal fumes'. To this day, it still makes me laugh. I know, I KNOW!

Women don't fart; they PUFF!

Can't believe someone said "barking spiders." My bro in law called them spider barks. I thought it was something he came up with. Fool.

When someone farted, my grandpa would either say, 'His rat barked.' Or 'It didn't pay its rent, so it had to GET OUT!' Gales of laughter.

R26 is your brother hot?

R29 you just reminded me of an episode of Real World: Hawaii (1999) -- or it might have been outtakes from The Real World You Never Saw -- at any rate, Colin and Teck are farting and calling them 'barking spiders.' That's the first time I heard that term.

“Breaking wind”

Gassies.

We never spoke of such matters.

Ass whistling

Foofs

Passing wind.

However if we had to pass wind, we were instructed to go to the bathroom to do so. It was not spoken of, nor did we announce what we intended to do. If at the table we had to ask "may I please be excused for a moment?"

Now days, I just power fart into the couch. If my partner comes into the room, I just blame it on the dogs.

Scat adjacent thread, cloaking attempt by the scat queen.

R38 so all the good rearing is just "gone with the wind"?

Boofs

They won't be fired. They will end up being equal or even higher paying positions at another property. Coming out and saying we fired the guy is PR 101 and sometimes makes all the chatter stop. This one not so much. But those hotel employees will be just fine.

Toots or letting the air out of the tire.

When we were kids, they were referred to as toots and the activity was tooting. In crass adolescence, it was cut the cheese

Cutting the cheese.

This is clearly a thread for the low-class and ill-bred. I’ll bet your mothers were all pregnant at their own weddings, too. Assuming they even had weddings!

^^ Charles Emerson Winchester III

Air biscuit here too.

We never discussed such things. It's almost never necessary, really.

We did not fart. We "passed gas."

buttermilk bombs

People with taste never acknowledge the vulgar.

They/it never occurred.

Intestinal Terrorist Attacks.

My brother was famous for SBDs. (silent but deadly)

[quote]Mark, Mark, laid a fart that blew the whole machine apart.

We said "Art, Art let a fart and blew it all apart". I like "Art" better as it's a better rhyme.

"General Poop is coming to town!!"

Boofers.

Heinie burps

Bubbles. We lay bubbles in the bathtub, in the community pool... these small round underwater funklings emerge from the cracks and slide up our backs and then pop pop pop the drifters explode into space... like a true nature's child.

'This is clearly a thread for the low-class and ill-bred. I’ll bet your mothers were all pregnant at their own weddings, too. Assuming they even had weddings! '

Says he who is on Data Lounge and commenting on a post entitled 'What other term did your family call "farts"?

My mother would occasionally say “ki fingott” which means “who farted” in Hungarian. We are not Hungarian, so I have no idea why she would say that.

My friend- a Christian no less- thinks 'fart' is a swearword and so her children have to call them 'popoffs'. When I see the kids I have them in gales of laughter when I say fart and make fart noises by blowing on my hands, all little kids think fart noises are funny, they love it. I can't wait for the day they come home from school having learnt shit, fuck, and cunt. Their mother would need a valium and a lie down. They're also not allowed to believe in Santa, I feel sorry for them.

Fizz-wops.

rotfl. needed a good drunk laugh

Well, the elderly prisspots at this site, with their fine upbringings, would show scowls of disapproval upon hearing my smartphone ring, after I downloaded a long fart noise as my ringtone. Farts are funny.

I'm the third whose family called them air biscuits. Whenever my aunt smelled a fart she would make a grossed out face then say Whooooo beefed?

When me and my younger brothers would blow farts my sister would get pissed off and say Stop farting you little shitasses!

We called them pumps or trumps. That’s one thing I’ve never understood about Donald Trumps press, why hasn’t his last name been ridiculed for having that last name? It’s a common term in the UK for fart.

"I'm blowing you a kiss." or "Here's a kiss for ya, sweetheart!"

This thread has been eye-opening. I'm amazed other people fart. I though it was just my family.

Pettitunies. (Small farts)

After someone farted my dad would say "Speak to me sweet lips."

Whenever someone let a noisy one rip, we would say "answer the phone. some ass is calling"

If it smelled bad, I’d say “you baked a ripe loaf”. People found it gross.

Toots, as in "Who tooted?"

There was a coffee commercial where the tagline was "Richness worth a second cup," and I had a cousin who would purposely split his farts in two while delivering this line:

"Richness" — fart — "worth a second cup!" — fart

Poops. Shits were “jobs” - Maybe a British parent thing?

"Silent searchers" for quiet ones.

77 continuing: Cute doggerel: Bean soup, the American fruit. The more you eat, the more you toot.

"Oh dear god what a stench in here...somebody please strike a match, open a door, a window, anything, this thread needs vents Oh David please hold me... I can't I just can't breathe...no fresh gossip here only frrraaaapps and toxic toots and gassy gasps.. too many puh puh pungent puffs and searing wafts oh god the walls are curling..."

Food ghosts

Expel flatus

Stink bomb

My father would call it Gazzz.

Boomsers...

My older brother called them fish stings. No idea why.

R85 you never asked?

poot zah

In the locker room of the police station where I'm assigned, if someone farts loudly it's expected that a bystander will say, "Sergeant who?" Yeah, it gets old, but it's still funny.

toilet tunes..

SBD.

Better out than in

I only fart in front of my older brother, not anyone else. Not even my BF, after 35 years (nor him in front of me). I have sleep apnea, and swallow quite a lot of air. When I'm visiting my brother, I often let a noisy (but non-stinky) one rip. My brother just tells his dog, 'Marky-Mark stepped on a duck!"

My mother called them "windies." My little sister and brother and I would sing that song "Everyone Knows it's Windy" and crack ourselves up.

In upper elementary and junior high, we typically said "cut the cheese." I can recall being at meals or parties where cheese was being served, and we kids would try to trick some unsuspecting older person into saying the "cut the cheese" in its literal sense and we'd all have a big, childish laugh.

R88 cops fart?

R92 why don't you fart in front of your BF? I thought all couples did.

I know. The intimacy of farting together. It's true love..

Pumps

We learned there were 3 kinds of farts:

1) The Silent-But-Deadly

2) Freeps (and a subcategory for Old Lady Farts)

3) Triple Flutterblasters.

The vapors

Iwojimas

Buttflaps

R34 We also called them gassies. Glad someone else did too. I remember being severely embarrassed in front of my friends when I found out no one else called them that

We're wasps we don't speak of such things.

Sniffies. When I was young I would cup my ass with my hand when I farted and sniff it.

Do you think people in the 1800s and earlier talked about farts and farted openly?

Yes, they had nothing better to do

[quote][R88] cops fart?

I think cops invented farting. Most cops are extremely proud of all their bodily functions and will gladly share details thereof with anyone who's interested.

How gross, R107.

Crack a rat.

R105... Probably. They sat around the campfire eating beans. Beans were a staple.

Torpedoes. I have no idea why.

R105 strangely enough the only recorded instance of a woman being accused of witchcraft in my small English town was because of her telling someone off for farting. She said something like “fart with a whistle and gyp with a bell, I’ll go to heaven and thou shall go to hell”.

Poomps.

[quote]“fart with a whistle and gyp with a bell, I’ll go to heaven and thou shall go to hell”.

What does that mean?

Whenever someone farted my grandmother said someone shot a bear.

It wasn't my family, but I was recently in a bar playing trivia and someone in the crowd farted loudly, and someone else said, "quiet, Melania!" I damn near peed myself.

I am both horrified and aghast but secretly giggling & saying ‘Yikes!’ when people & families all talk about farts as a topic of conversation... there are people for whom it is a passion & everyday topic. The fontrum I feel when it clearly doesn’t occur to them that they come across as trash is extreme. Having said that, everybody including the Queen does it. A woman I met told me that when she was a little girl her much older brothers (12 yrs+) used to hold her down & take turns farting in her face... laughing as I write this.

It wasn't funny.

Shoot a bunny.

R95, No I never have, and hope I never will. He just called me last night, close to 10 PM, to tell me that he had a frog in his living room, and didn't know what to do. We're in the Midwest, so I thought it was too soon for spring peepers. He was practically in hysterics, trying to figure out what to do. When he got up this morning, it had disappeared (he thinks). He can't handle a frog on his living room floor. I can't imagine what he'd do if I farted. At least, he's never done it, either (not in front of me).

[quote]He can't handle a frog on his living room floor. I can't imagine what he'd do if I farted.

Oh Jesus, my sides are sore from laughing! I've known guys like that. You're probably right to withhold noxious/loud gases from him. However, if you ever accidentally fart in his vicinity, you can always counter his shock and disgust by saying something like, "well, at least I didn't get any on you."

Farts are Nature..

Puffy

Stinky

"Putt," as in a old car goes putt, putt, putt down the road.

Cheesers

I was raised in West Texas and we called'em barking snakes. We'd look behind ourselves as if looking for the snake.

It amazes me that other people in different parts of the country and the world also fart.

Ferberts

Pedos.

Gaseous events

Burbles.

Poo-tinkies..

Boofers.

Stinkeroos...

My cousins in Pennsylvania would call 'em pumpers.

Fur babies.

^^ Shit, wrong thread. Sorry. ^^

I dunno—"Jesus, did you just release a fur baby? Gross!"

Jumped into the thread just to use up today's F&F allotment on the sick fucks who think this is funny.

I wish you scat freaks would fucking die slow painful deaths.

Sick fucks. And fuck the rest of you who respond to threads like this.

Wow, who farted on [italic]your[/italic] Wheaties this morning, R140?

R140 - Fuck off, Miss Prissy Pants

I gotta agree that farts are disgusting. I would dump a guy if he ever farted in front of me. Ew. There needs to be some mystery for romance to survive.

Tushie bubbles..

We called them r140s — pronounced "are one-farties."

Cookie cutters.

“Sitting on the Whoopie Cushion”

We never said we farted. We said we "popped a button".

Fluffies

farts were called butt operas at the SF opera company

They fart in San Francisco, too?

plunks

Hell, 151, so many shit in the streets in San Francisco, why would a little old fart be a surprise?

Stinkbug.

On The Kids Are Alright - they called them 'seat noises'......LOL

[quote]On The Kids Are Alright - they called them 'seat noises'......LOL

I suppose that's more polite than "ass trumpets."

Warbles.

[quote]They fart in San Francisco, too?

Yeah, it's because of all the Rice-A-Roni they eat.

toots.

For the poster above who won’t fart in front of his partner - my partner and I have a charming tradition- if we are in bed and either of us has to fart, the farter will quickly pull the covers over both of our heads and yell “Dutch Oven!”

“Someone stepped on a frog.” That always got a laugh from me.

R161 how come?

TOOTS!!!!!!!!

Strikin' up the band.

Word is that Arnold Schwarzenegger used to do that to then-wife Maria Shriver all the time. I can actually see him doing that.

I hope those ducks aren't going to honk all night.

Thunder down under

Toots, Tootsie.

Bump instead of the other thread.

Butt snorts.
