Fart. Passing gas. Air from our derriere. Thunder from down under.
In English, we have so many names for that natural bodily function we've considered is outright vulgar because they can be so smelly. (Don't worry - even if they are, it means you've a healthily functioning body!) The fact is most gasses that escape our body are actually odorless! So then why do farts smell? And why do we pass gas at all?
