Cranial Flatulence is a more refined term for and synonymous with Brain Fart which is when a person is simply cannot recollect or remember something or even what he was in the middle of doing. It happens to females also.
Dick had a case of CRANIAL FLATULENCE and his horse ran out of the barn over to Virgina's house for a quick visit to see her box.
When a person wants to make an excuse for his or her stupidity, but wants to make others laugh in the process, so as to take attention away from his or her own dumbass behavior. And, if you're apologizing for your own cranial flatulence (similar to a brain fart), and the person you're speaking to doesn't understand the terminology, you can (temporarily, at least) feel better about your own level of intelligence.
