And so my kind - nay, noble! - request ends with a mind picture of GW Bush bending over to pick up the soap.

Not with a bang but with a whimper, eh?

What, we're going to have to start an Eskimo Rumors thread now?

Oh we say fart all the fartin' time. Especially when the dog farts. For such a little guy - he's really a stinker like that.

And no name calling. Although my husband and I call each other names when the kids aren't around... but it's more in a playful manner even if it's negative. To give you an example, I called him a fart eating fart monster that smells like farts in a recent email.

No, we really don't have a thing with farts even though this post would seem to indicate otheriwise.

Are you sure you're not my sister?

Fart was a work I was forbidden to say as a child. I still feel uncomfortable when I say it. Somehow, the worst of words were never addressed so Shyt, Fu<k and others of that nature flow freely as needed.

I too was forbidden from saying fart. I got my mouth washed out for saying hell in the context of "what in the hell is this?".

Being a brilliant child, I used "dam as in reservoir". That didn't fly either.

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!

Just the other night, hubbo and I were discussing whether cats ever let one. He said he thought not. Now we know hubbo was sadly wrong. It's not the first time.

We could say fart, though we'd get a look if we said it at the dinner table.
