This is a humorous way of alluding to a fart that cannot be overheard when in company. It appears in James Joyce's "Portrait of the Artist of a Young Man" when a group of students are discussing various philosophical issues. One of them farts and another of the group asks him: "Did an angel speak?". It is also defined on FartNames.com as "any loud fart in church". Joyce obviously used it humorously, aware of its religious connotations.

Get the Speak with your chestmug. A phrase coined by the Quakers during in the mid-1950s. It was a call for the United States to stand firm against fascism and other forms of totalitarianism; it is a phrase that seems to unnerve political right, with reason.
The founders of United States risked their lives in order to speak truth to power, that of King George. It was and is considered courageous, although is more commonly scorned today.

Get the speak truth to powermug. When you find yourself at one of those conceptual art exhibition but you're not sure what to make of said art, and you don't want to look like and idiot in front of the artist, you just say, mmm, it speaks to me.
Wow, the juxtaposition of the lava lamps and the life-sized styrofoam hippos is really captivating. Plus I love what the artist did with the texture of the non-toxic glue starbusts. Mmm, it speaks to me.
