I don't know why, but I hate the word "fart". It goes beyond the crassness of the eponymous (ooo, ooo, add that word to the other thread!) bodily function, I just think that there should be a better word for it that sounds right at all levels of literature. Which is the thing, I encounter "fart" in everything, including the most pretentious of Brit Lit. The oldest reference to it I've had is my favorite medieval diddy, "Summer is Icummin In", written in 13th-Century English. "Bulle sterteth, Bucke verteth, murie sing coucu!" (The bull leaps, the buck farts, merrily sing koocoo).

There's no good way to avoid it aside from saying "passing gas". And that is lame.

1. prostitute
2. greyhound
3. restroom
4. constabulary
5. entrapment

[Obscurus Lupa]

"Do you mind not farting while I'm saving the world?"

You could say "let one rip"

[DuFresne]

Emu. I can never remember if it's ee-moo or ee-mew (as in the cat sound or the pokeman), or if the way most people say it is actually right or not. This is nothing against Emu the poster on this site, just the pronunciation of his name.

[Guitar Woman]

I'm pretty sure it's ee-moo, although this could be like people pronouncing vase or tomato or Samus differently.

I don't know why, but I hate the word "fart".

There's no good way to avoid it aside from saying "passing gas". And that is lame.

1. "bottom burp"
2."fire the pants cannon"
3."stepped on a duck"
4."cut the cheese"
5."cut the mustard"
6."flatulate"
7."oops... i made a smelly" - Richard Pryor
8. "No, woman, you SHIT!" - Richard Pryor
9."make the methane"
10. "rip ass", "tear ass", etc.


And as far as crappy words go, add "EMO" to the list. I have no idea what this word means anymore, if i ever did. In the mid to late 80's, "emo" kind of meant you listened to bands within the punk rock genre that mostly sang about "No one understands me, I can't fit in, blah blah blah". Some folks would say if you listened to anything off of Dischord Records you were "emo". I don't care. I won 150 dollars at a casino this weekend so i'm getting drunk for the 1st time in like two months. Because no one understands me.


And I don't fit in.

[Sethomas]

I said "good way to avoid it". If I wanted an encyclical of crass euphemisms, I'd watch television. You know, something like Frasier.

[Obscurus Lupa]

I can't tell you how many times I've had to turn Frasier off because of the fart jokes.

[Sacks]

Are there seriously that many fart jokes in Frasier? How bizarre.

[JediScum]

Yeah, i think it was the 4th episode of the 1st season where Lilith flatulates like a rhino and sends a dingleberry into someone's eye, which does hurt like hell, believe you me.

And Mr. Sethomas... you are right. I personally don't see why you would not like the word "fart" however, all humans are different. The list i previously provided was just to offer alternatives but, i did notice that almost all were not just phrases but slang as well. After some thought, i'm still stumped. "Flatulate" is the biological term however, aside from "fart", i cannot currently think of a way to reference the phenomenon that doesn't use slang.

Immediately, the best substitution i can think of are in foreign languages. the only one I know of is the Spanish "pedo", but using that word around the Hispanic community, especially among strangers could be dangerous, as the word does have slang meanings that are confrontational (ie. "QUE PEDO?" = WHAT IS YOUR FART? {literally} or in slang WHAT IS YER FUCKING PROBLEM?) Not good. Leads to knife fights.

This is intriguing. Is there a word besides "fart" or "flatulate", that isn't slang, a vulgarity or overly scientific? I will do my best to research this because, well, I'm not really doing much else.

preggers

This and 'Hubby' always drive me crazy.

[Emu]

I hate it when people say "we're pregnant" unless they are two lesbians who are pregnant.

I suppose they don't have to lesbians but that would be hotter.

[Sacks]

What about "we're having a baby"? Does that bother you?

[Emu]

No, because it takes two people to have a baby, but only the woman's pregnant.

[Sacks]

Technically it takes two people to -make- a baby, not have one. HO HO.

[DeadKennedys]

Onus. I can't stand that.

[MetalMilitia]

I really dislike the word papas. Not sure why.

Also the lexicon used by porn sites is horrible.

[AChimp]

Personally, I'm comforted by the fact that "fart" has been part of our vernacular since at least the 13th century.

Vernacular.
