Yes, I too find "fart" a far more dreadful word than any of the big offenders. (One reason may simply be a reflex - whenever the word was bandied about by siblings or school-chums, inevitably someone followed up by producing the real thing, to peals of laughter by all but me. So, perhaps by avoiding the word I'm also trying to avoid that which it denotes.)
Still, my cat Illuminati produces farts that can kill. Jiminy Crickets!
