...Fart? 
My family always used "Frump", but DH's family always uses "Fluff".
Personally I think fluff is too cutesy and I like frump because it just sounds more funny to me lol!
What word do you use as a substitute for "Fart"?
-
Pass gas!
Fluff is definitely too cutesy.
ETA: Oh yea, I also sometimes say "poot" or "toot"
-
Toot!
-
@BakerBee: pass gas, too.
-
Toot
-
Toot!
-
We say toot for lo or gassies but pass gas for adult
-
I just say fart (ETA: and sometimes pass gas), but my MIL says "popper" and was astounded that I'd never heard of it!
-
@lovehoneybee: I haven't heard popper before! That is definitely a new one for me!
Would you use it the same way? Like "Did you just popper?"
-
I usually just say fart. But sometimes toot.
I babysat for a family who called them fritters. Which is gross to me, because fritter is a delicious baked good.
-
Huh. Is mine the only family that had no word for it? You just… don't, around people. And if you do you say excuse me and move on and no one mentions it lol.
The only time I can ever remember either of my parents even MENTIONING it was one time on a car trip with my mom and aunt my aunt was having some… issues. And afterwords my mom said something about the ride being unpleasant due to my aunt's "digestive struggles" haha
-
@Mae: Same here! It was politely ignored - I'm pretty sure that's why I don't "get" most potty humor these days.
-
We taught Liam to say "toot" and it's the cutest.
-
Toot.
-
We use toot
Growing up my mom said " did u shoot a bunny?"
No idea where that came from! Lol -
My hubs' family says "toot." We just say "fart" in Vietnamese in my family.
-
We plan to say "fart". DHs family uses "toot" with his nieces and nephews, but for some reason that word has always bothered me!
-
Toot!
My MIL says poot. Anyone else say that?
-
@Happygal: we say poot!
-
My grandfather always called them "gassers" and so did my mom. I didn't know they weren't called that out in the real world until I was in elementary school, haha.
-
@Mamaof2: My mom said the same thing! I've never heard anyone else say it, and I have no idea where it comes from. We say toot with LO.
-
We use toot with LO!
@Mae: No exaggeration, farting was normal dinner conversation for my family. We are classy.
-
Shoot a bunny?! lol
We just say fart. Will prob say fart w/ future LO too.
-
Growing up we called them 'stinkies'. LO isn't here yet, so we don't have a name for them now, but I doubt we'll stick with stinky
-
Is there ever really a polite way to talk about gas?
Growing up my parents always said "pass gas". We weren't allowed to use the word "fart" because they said it was crude. I always wondered why we had to talk about it at all!
DH and I usually talk around it. For example, he farts and I suggest, "can you please spray some Febreeze?" When it comes to our baby I imagine we will just talk about whether or not she is gassy.
-
Well, I guess our replacement word would be 'toot', but like @mrsrain: I just try to talk around it. I don't like any of the words - they're all kind of silly and awkward!
-
Growing up we always used the Korean word for fart. Now I just say fart haha.
-
toot or poot
-
We grew up saying "pop"
It wasn't until we hung out with our cousins in New England that we heard the word fart. I think my sister was about 5 and she started saying "Faht" and dropping the R because that's what the cousins said.
-
Toot. DH's grandma calls them boofies
-
Fart. Dad's favorite after he let one go was, "Duck's are flying low today!"
DH likes to use a shortened version of "cut the cheese" and says things like, "did you cut?!" We use that one more often then not or "let one go". -
Toot, I always ask LO if she tooted
-
If I hear DH, I usually ask him if he ripped one. Mature, I know.
Growing up, we were told to call it a "breezer." Not sure why because that sounds weird.
-
@MaryM: can't find a clip, but that totally made me think of the South Park episode where they say, "fahts aren't funny!" Lol.
-
I think we usually say "toot" or don't talk about it in polite company, but at home DH and I talk about "butt trumpeting."
-
I grew up saying "pass air"
-
Dying!
We just say fart. Not shy over here!
-
my cousin's girls say "beefed" which is so gross but so hysterical when the word is coming out of a 5yr old girl! dh and I will use toot
-
I try to say toot because I couldn't picture my little lady saying farther lol. My husband can't do it and just says farther so we'll see who wins!
-
We made up a word- leem. It stemmed from a ridiculous conversation about the Spanish word for lime. I said that lemon is limon, and when DH asked what lime is, I replied with "Leem!". It turned into a whole big thing... and now a fart is a leem.
