An illusion of farting created by the body language of a group of pranksters who synchronize backing quickly away from a person while grimacing simultaneously as though the stench is intolerable and horrific.
Since adolescence these close friends practiced and honed their cruel phantom farting routine on teachers, their wives, heads of state, and eventually the 45th President of the United States as he stood on the lawn of the White House.

Get the phantom farting mug.1. A character from "Les Miserables" by Victor Hugo. The year is 1823, in Montreuil-sur-Mer, France. Fantine is a young, unmarried mother who works in a factory owned and run by the reformed Jean Valjean, the protagonist of the story. Fantine's daughter, Cosette, is the result of a boyfriend who used and deserted Fantine; the young Cosette lives with the thieving Thenardier family who (unknown to the illiterate Fantine) abuse Cosette and make false claims about Cosette's health so that Fantine can give them money (which they take for themselves).
Upon finding out that Fantine has a child out of wedlock, the other women (who are jealous of Fantine's beauty) urge the foreman (who has unsuccessfully tried to bed Fantine) to fire her. Desperate for Cosette and frustrated by her unjust dismissal, Fantine sells what she can for money, including her golden hair and her pearl-white eye-teeth. Ultimately, she becomes a prostitute to support Cosette and eventually dies of tuberculosis... but not before Valjean comes to her aid and promises to take care of Cosette.
2. By extension, any single mother of young children who has fallen on hard times and, out of desperation and love for her little ones, is willing to do almost anything to give her children a chance at a better life.

So different from this Hell I'm living!
So different now from what it seemed-!

Get the farting mug.A carpet farting is where you release a stream of short, fast, bursting farts while you're running or walking. The name is a variant from United States Armed Forces term "Carpet Bombing". A carpet bombing is where an aircraft drops a large number of bombs so as to cause a uniform of devastation over a given area. The phrase is probably intended to invoke the image of bombs completely covering an area, like a carpet; carpet farting is basically the same concept.
