Fart is the most commonly used English word in reference to flatulence. The word fart is often considered unsuitable in a formal situation because it can be considered vulgar or offensive. Fart can be used as a noun or verb. Its direct roots are in the words of the middle English fertile , feortan and farten , the family of Old High German ferzan . Cognates are found in Old Norse, Slavs and also Greek and Sanskrit. The word fart has been put into daily and technical speech from a number of jobs, including computing.

Etimologi
The English word fart is one of the oldest words in the English lexicon. Its origin derived from Indo-Europe is confirmed by many cognate words in several other Indo-European languages: The word is similar to the Greek verbs ???????? (perdomai), and Latin p? d? re , Sanskrit pardate , Avestan p? r ?? aiti , Italian > un-peto tariff , French "pÃÆ' à © ter", Russian ??????? (per cent ') and Polish "pierd" & lt; & lt; PIE * perd [break wind loudly] or * pezd [same, soft], it all means the same thing. Like most Indo-European roots in Germanic, it is altered under Grimm law, so Indo-European /p/ & gt; /f/, and /d/ & gt; /t/, as the allied German furzen language also manifests.

Vulgarity and offensiveness
In some circles the word is considered to be only a common profanation with often funny connotations. For example, a person may be referred to as 'fart', or 'old fart', not necessarily dependent on one's age. This may convey the feeling that someone is boring or overly nagging and is meant to be an insult, especially when used in a second or third person. For example, '"he's a dull old man!" But it can be used as a funny term of self-love or harassment (for example, in phrases like "I know I'm just an old fellow" or "you really fart!"). 'Fart' is often only used as a pity term when the subject is personally well known to the user.
But in both cases it tends to refer to the habits or personal traits that the user perceives as a negative feature of the subject, even when it is a self-reference. For example, when worried that someone is too methodical, they may say, 'I know I am an old man,' potentially preventing negative thoughts and opinions from others. When used in an offensive attempt, the word is still considered vulgar, but is still a mild example of such contempt. This usage dates back to the Medieval period, where the phrase 'not worth fart' to be applied to a held item becomes worthless. While being accused of possibly offensive fart, another phrasal description of puffed up fluid, in phrases like, "Have you dropped your bowels?", "Have you blown one" or "Who's bad luck?" certainly no less.
Historical examples
The word fart in Central English occurs in "Sumer Is Icumen In", where one summer sign is "bucke uerteÃÆ'þ" (fart buck). It appears in some Geoffrey Chaucer Canterbury Tales . In "The Miller Tale", Absolon has been duped into kissing Alison's ass when he expects to kiss his face. Her boyfriend, Nicholas, hangs his ass from the window, hoping to trick Absolon into kissing his ass in turns and then farting in front of his opponent. In "The Summoner's Tale", the monks in this story will receive a fart smell through a twelve-finger wheel.
At the beginning of the modern period, the word fart is not considered very vulgar; even appearing in literary works. For example, Samuel Johnson English Dictionary , published in 1755, including the word. Johnson defines it with two poems, one by Jonathan Swift, the other by Sir John Suckling.
Benjamin Franklin prepared an essay on the topic for the Royal Academy of Brussels in 1781 urging scientific studies. In 1607, a group of Members of Parliament have written a rough poem entitled The Parliamentary Fart, as a symbolic protest against the conservatism of the House of Lords and king James I.
Modern usage
Although not one of George Carlin's seven dirty words, he notes in later routines that the word fart should be added to the "list" of unacceptable words (for broadcast) in any context meaning not offensive), and describes television as (then) "free zone fart". Thomas Wolfe has the phrase "fizz and sulfur" which was cut from his 1929 work See homeward, angel by his publisher. Ernest Hemingway, who owned the same publisher, accepted the principle that "farts" could be cut, arguing that words should not be used solely for shock. The hippie movement of the 1970s saw a new definition evolve, with the use of "fart" as a personal noun, to describe "a disgusting person, or a small person or limited mental capacity", gaining wider and more open use as a results.
Rhyming slang develops an alternative form of "raspberry tart", then abbreviated to "raspberry", and sometimes abbreviated further to "razz". It is associated with the phrase "raspberry blowing". Words have become more common, and are now featured in children's literature, such as the Walter the Farting Dog, Robert Munsch Good Families Do not and Gas We Pass by Shinta Cho.
According to The Alphabet of Manliness , setting the blame for fart is part of the behavioral ritual. This may involve fraud and back-and-side games, for example, "He who kisses her, cope" and "He who rejects it, gives it". Derived terms include fee fart (queef), fart brain (slang for special types of abnormal brain activity that results in human error while performing repetitive tasks, or more generally indicates the level of mental weakness or task-related forgetfulness, such as forgetting how to hold a fork) and old farts .
