The Poo Poo Hot Pot (AKA the Boston Ball Warmer) is a New England phenomena. Named for a Cambridge Massachusetts eatery, whose legendary cuisine led to original episode, a Poo Poo Hot Pot occurs when an individual farts in very cold weather whilst wearing layered clothing. A very slow yet persistent trail of steam is released from the backside of the potter's waistline in a fashion reminiscent of a boiling pot or chafing dish. A warming sensation has also been reported extending as high the shoulder blades.
The weather was unbearable but luckily for me, I released a poo poo hot pot shortly after getting in line which made the situation much more comfortable, for me.
