I was staying over at a friends house one night and while we were lying in the bunk beds he would be able to fart whenever he wanted to. I asked him how he did it and he said 'Tricular'. For the next couple of years, everytime I farted in front of people I would say 'Tricular' and smile at them. One day when I farted in front of the same friend who had told me the word, he asked me what I was saying. He then told me he had said not 'Tricular' but 'Trick you learn' I felt the last couple of years of embarassment rush into me.
