I read it about 1974 lived in Austin Texas out of a websters dictionary. People think I am crazy because there is no definition to be found. I did hear a while back an explanation of new words and changing words by a scholar, my argument is what the rule Hold your base.I think the History of the fart definition lost its origin. Boy how times change! keep the "eruption between the legs" I had no idea the definition could change to the point of non existent.

I'm doing a presentation in a week about dictionaries. My earliest memory of using one is giggling under the covers with my twin with a torch and looking up the very word 'fart' with the same definition. I NEED TO FIND EVIDENCE (photo from the dictionary but cannot find it anywhere. Can anyone help please? urgent help please!! I’m doing a presentation in a week about dictionaries.

I've told her to look it up in a dictionary as she didn't believe it meant 'a small explosion between the legs'. I'm at my parents now and looked in their dictionary - where has it gone? So glad I was able to show her this site, which confirms what the definition was many moons ago! I'm off into my attic when I get home, I'm sure I've got an old dictionary there!!! I'm still rolling around the floor now - just as I did then! I do think it is the most appropriate word for the action. My 19 year old daughter has just said the word fart.
