See the complete list of all entries with fart in the Index of Hidden Key Words.) : Okay, who farted?

    the sound or odor of the release of intestinal gas. (Often objectionable.) : Who made that smelly fart?
  3. n.
    a stupid, despicable, and annoying person. (Usually objectionable.) : The guy's nothing but a fart. Just forget him.
