A noise produced from the buttocks, usually accompanied by a foul smelling odor. The odor is usually said to smell of rotten eggs. The noise of the fart can be very unpredictable. Some farts are silent, while others can rumble like thunder and shake the walls. Some farts sound like broken band instruments, and others sound like
wet bubbles. The intensity of the fart and smell of the fart depends on what your body has digested. Some people (like my
dad) have the ability to fart on command, and fart very
wet, rumbly, nasty farts. Other people cannot seem to even muster up a little pooter. When young children fart, their mothers
will try to detour them from using the word fart, and suggest words like "pass gas", "fluff a
bunny", or "
toot".
