  macca Joined on 31-Jul-2005 Essex Posts 4,849	Contact Trump here too. Agree with fart not sounding very child-like! My mother is forever telling the story of how, aged 2.5 I suddenly exclaimed, "Mummy! My bottom coughed!"

  hazel Joined on 23-Mar-2004 United Kingdom Posts 56,972	Contact We have parping in our house. When I was growing up it was "blowing off" but I'm not sure that's so appropriate either

  Contact Lol we're really twee and mostly have "windy pops" in this house. H sometimes uses 'fart' but I have an irrational dislike of that word, I seem to recall it being regarded as a bit of a naughty word when I was little and it's obviously stayed with me. 'Pumps' are referred to occasionally too or sometimes it's just 'smelly bottom'. N is a very windy girl though, we need the variety of phrases.
