"Fart" is indeed an unattractive word. What better word can you suggest? In the 'family film' Shrek, Donkey accuses Shrek of 'cracking one off'. You could also have flatulate, break wind, release gas, let rip, blow off, let a raspberry, honk or poot. Choose your favourite - the list is endless.   And SBD for those sneaky, anonymous pooters.

A long time ago there was a weight reduction program using a sulfate containing compound called Kruschen Salts. Extremely obese banana boat radionman tried it. It made him have such voluminous expulsions of H2S that when he got to a movie late, he would walk halfway down aisle, lay down a barrage, and quite soon there would be a lot of vacated seats, from which he could take his pick.

Thank you, Emanuela. You've just made the connection for me to villain. From Webster's Unabridged:
[ME vilein, vilain, fr. MF, fr. ML villanus, fr. L villa country house, country estate, village + anus* -an ...]
So, villain has a heritage similar to civility, civilized, barbaric, and uncouth, in that it imposes attributes depending upon where the person is from.
* and we do not need to tie this in with the direction the other fork of this thread has taken...

Yeah. It's the masculine version. Women cook with Contadina, men with Contadino.

vilain/vilaine is used in French also but does not have the extreme conotation as villain in English. It means that the person is not too nice; usually applied a child who has done something just a little bit not nicer than naughty.

Rubrick recommends: And SBD for those sneaky, anonymous pooters. I'm not sure what SBD means, but would it also apply to those, sneaky anonymous posters?

Silent But Deadly.
take it from someone who family meals (say at holiday time) might include Cabbage, rutabaga, brussel sprouts, and onions.. trust me, you didn't want to be indoors the next day... or any time soon with your family!
then there was the nun at the RR station. she was waiting for a train, and found a some pennies. How novel.. (most nuns take vows of poverty, and never carry money.) she saw a scale, and an ad on it, "your wieght and fortune, 1 C.
She stepped on the scale, and got a small piece of paper,
weight 135lbs.
"a small wind will come your way"
She thought, thats a silly fortune, got on the scale again
and this time got
weight 135lbs
"Wind is due soon"
now she was annoyed.. she wanted her fortune, and so, taking her last penny, she spepped on the scale again
"You still weight 135 lbs, and if you don't stop farting around here, you'll miss your train!"
