What Word Do You Use?

We use 'toot' with Kiddo...

But he will use 'fart' every time, as though it is the coolest, 'bestest' word EVAH!

Sometimes, though, when it's just the adults, I'll ask my husband "Dude!? Is that you or the cat?!"

Cut the cheese, floating an air biscuit, barking tree beetles, those damn frogs, fart, and toot-toot laaaa (in a sing-songy voice). The toot-toot laaaa drives my 9 year old daughter crazy and so it has REALLY caught on! Nothing's funnier than seeing her 17 year old brother rip one off and sing "toot-toot laaaa", J. to get a rise out of her. Yeah, farting is a real "hoot" around here. ;)

We use "busted." However my almost three y/o will say "excuse me, my butt hiccuped."

Peace and Blessings,
T. B

My son just uses fart.

My daughter, sweet girl that she is, will say "Excuse ME! My butt burped!"

Cracks us up every time. :)

Somehow my son came up with "I gassed". I love it :)

Uhhh...fart.

I wonder, is there a reason parents don't want kids to say fart?

What's wrong with the word fart?

My kids and I use the word "pedito", which is little fart in Spanish.

emmy still announces the fact she farts like its something to be celebrated.

Most of my life I said "toot," but after being the only female in the house for the last 15 years, I've been converted. I now say, "fart." :/

lol, we just say "fart"

"fart" for my two boys.
"farty farty" for my 2 year old.
My brothers are known to "crop dust" (fart a silent but deadly without telling you as they walk by)
L.

who cut the cheese?

I raised my boys to say "passed gas" but they, like their dad, preferred to say FART. It's so ridiculous.

My mom called them toots. My aunt called them Flew Flews. I always liked that one. Did you just do a flew flew? It never caught on in my little family, they thought it was 'gay'.

Poot. Not as crass as fart. And sometimes it gets misinterpreted as poop, which can be funny.

We have another issue regarding the term to use for urinated. My husband has used "piss" fairly often, which I really dislike. After telling him this (several times) he took it upon himself to teach the girls to say "wee wee" or "tinkle" instead. I also really dislike these terms for some reason. I'm fighting back by using "pee" or "potty" as much as possible.

Never heard of barking spiders. That's hilarious.

OMG, we use ALL of the below terms in our home. I like "barking tree frogs."

The boys are very well mannered outside of our home (and car) though.

Donna,

Just what are you trying to say? That we're indecent because we're silly with our kids? Mmmmkay.

Toots here. A convert from step on a duck. So now my 3-year-old proudly announces whenever she or anyone else toots!

We use "toot".

My BIL (my son idolizes him) says "Oh- barking spider!", so we hear that now. I really dislike the word "fart", so we don't use it.

I say 'stinky gas'...not sure how or why that started, but it stuck.

Not sure why but I really dislike 'toot' or 'poot' I don't like saying it and I really don't like hearing it...I'd rather hear and say fart!

A stinky. But my 3 yr old son announces it as a "noise". :)

Who let Felix out of the bag?
Did you step on a duck?
SBD.

Mostly "fart."

Hi, W.:

I was wondering how far does "common
decency" go on this social network?

Common decency in the public arena is
a gift, I would love to enjoy it.

D.

"Poot" for the post part.
My son and husband will say "Stepped on a frog" or "barking spider".

I say "toot!" Sometime "poot". Anyword that isn't completely blatent in public as fart, especially since my buddy likes to toot and poot all the time...then says I did it!!

We use toot or fart.

I think our house hold uses "fart" most of the time. I remember when my older kiddos where little, and my mom and I used the phrase "who shot a bunny"; well my husband had never heard that, and the first time I said that he was like "WHAT?" It was pretty funny at the time. I had a cousin who said that there were "carpet frogs."

We use: toot or tooties if there was more than one, fart, cut the cheese, and stinky.

I always say pass gas. I told my son I don't like the word "fart". Sometimes he says " I tooted" which is sweet.

Come to find out my husband just gave my 6 yr old a gag gift he had received years back called " the farting machine". You hide it somewhere and use the remote to make a farting noise when someone gets near it. So much for my concern over his choice of words. Men are like children I swear!

"Toot" here too. :P

That word literally makes me cringe, to hear it or read it. I cannot stand it, and it's not allowed in my house. My son will learn that word at school, and that is where it will stay.

I say: pass gas, blow bubbles, do a put-put (when he was an infant; now he says that). Those are the verbs. Nouns: stinky thing, put-put. I was raised on "pass gas"; I NEVER heard that f-word in my parents' house. They never said why, either. It just never showed up, and I never thought about it.

What ever word pops in my head first.

My dad would say he stepped on a frog!

It started off with "Did you just step on a duck? Say excuse me, please!" So then it was "I ducked." Then we moved on to "tooted."

And now, yeah, it's plain ole fart. Although I personally think toot is more ladylike :)
