farting

Farting, also known as flatulence, passing gas, and cutting cheese, is a natural bodily function that among humans contributes relatively little to global warming. Both ordinary discussion and scholarly study of farting has tended to be silenced. One common, deviously oppressive saying is “he who smelt it, dealt it.” That saying should be replaced with the more enlightened and awareness-promoting expression, “If you smell something, say something!”
