Grant came across a lovely discussion on Metafilter about ways to denote farting. His two favorites: making a little wish, and love puff, used at that point in a relationship where you feel okay passing gas in front of your significant other. This is part of a complete episode.
Transcript of “Love Puffs”
I hope you’ll forgive me, but there was a discussion on Metafilter recently about farting.
And there were a couple terms that came up that I thought were worth sharing.
One of the users says that their grandmother used to call it making a little wish.
Oh, I like that. That’s sweet.
That’s gentle, right? That’s pretty nice.
And then someone else said you could call it a love puff.
That’s very sweet.
And so the whole discussion is about when you’re comfortable with flatulence in front of your romantic partner.
I was going to say, it sort of depends on the puffer, doesn’t it?
Totally does.
I won’t tell you what a Dutch oven is, but you should Google it, too.
