cerebral flatulence

Another expression for "brain fart", perhaps utilized sarcastically, or in an attempt to demonstrate academic prowess, or maybe with legitimacy when geeky types express themselves.
Michael Bolton: You know those two efficiency experts the company hired to lay off the employees? During my interview with them, I couldn't remember either one of their names, and they're both named "Bob"! With that kind of cerebral flatulence, they're going to fire me for sure!

Samir: Perhaps of greater concern than a "brain fart" is that you never do any work. All you ever do in your cubicle is play computer games when you think no one is looking. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to my TPS Report.
