as i kid (about 4 or 5) my mother asked me to assist my younger sister in going to the toilet as she was busy with some friends who had come round for coffee. Once in the bathroom, it in fact turned out little sis in fact only needed to fart. Upon returning downstairs and announcing to my mother and her highly amused friends that it wasnt a poo, but in fact 'a burp that comes out of your bottom', It took me some years before I learnt the word fart
