a.k.a. sneeze-butt, ass-sneeze, asschoo
A butt-sneeze is a semi-mythical phenomenon that involves a rapid expulsion of air and liquid from the rectum. The 'sneeze' is often mistaken for flatulence due to it'
s sound and pungent odor.
Despite it's rare occurance, controversy has erupted about whether it is necessary to say "bless you" after a butt-sneeze, as one generally does after a regular Sneeze.
The late Father Y. A. Nire had the following
words on this matter:
"In the past, it was believed that the
soul escaped the body when a
person sneezed. So, by saying 'bless you', the
soul was returned to the body.
Religion tells us that sinful/harmful substances leave the anus - for example: excrement. However, divine things enter the anus - Such as, my penis into a supermodel. Since the
soul is considered divine, it is unlikely to travel out of the anus. Therefore, one does not need to say "bless you".
