In Middle English it was farten, while in Old English it was thought to be *feorten (that is a reconstruction as the Old English form has not survived in writing).  The Indo-European root is *perd- "to fart, to break wind".  That root gave Greek perdon "fart", which turns up in the genus name of a type of mushroom, the puffball, also know as the "wolf's fart" (from the literal translation of its Greek name: lycoperdon).  Puffballs shoot their spores out in what resembles a puff of smoke, hence this name and the English dialect name puck-fist ("Puck's fart"). \n\nThe Indo-European root *perd- is thought by some to have been imitative of the sound of farting.  Other languages with similarly-derived words are German (farzen), Swedish (fjarta), Danish (fjerte), Russian (perdet), Polish (pierdziec), and Greek (pordizo).  Oh, and let's not forget English partridge!  Etymologically it is the "farting bird" because the name derives from Greek perdix, which refers to the whirring sound the bird makes when suddenly flushed out of hiding.  The Greeks thought it sounded like farting!\n\nWe can't move on before telling you that the earliest occurrence of a form of fart in the English written record comes from a song called The Cuckoo Song, or Sumer is icumen in, from about 1250:

its the methane in ur farts that make them stink the rest (about 99%) is just air (think about what it would smell like if it was 2% methane)

Yes many a times fart sound like words. Its like imagining shapes in the clouds. You hear what you want to hear. If you are about to propose you hear 'YESSSSSSSSS" farts, a child is asked about a sheep, he hears the 'BAAAA' farts, if u are seeing a film on snakes u hear 'HISSSSSSSSSSS" farts

LMAO! This is the funniest question ever! Love it. :]\n\nJust fart! Really. Every human being on Earth farts.  Now the thing that I learned in school that has carried with me for many years, is that "if you don't poop and fart, you're not human."

Its simple,\nWhen simple carbs ar processed it produces a lot of air, meaning loud gas\nWhen protiens are digested it doesn't produce a lot of gas but the gas it produces reeks, (ever smelled burning feathers or hair?) We all fart, its just the smell thats different.

vibration of the spincter muscle there, which allows, well, stuff to pass out at will and not uncontrollably! a fart is a pretty powerful thing!

OH my I can't beleive I am letting the world know my best fart story lol. I used to be a stripper. One night after a late night dinner of taco bell, one of my frequent customers came in for a lap dance. There is this move where I stand on my head and do a split, well I felt it coming after getting on my head and tryed my hardest to not let it rip, to my horror, I farted so freaking loud right in the dudes face. IT WAS REALLY STINKY also, he was really cool about it, we both laughed our arses off and he even gave me a really big tip. I guess maybe farting was one of his turn ons? hahaha, I can't believe I just told yall that

Very interesting point, I hadn't realised that farts came in so many categories!\nI once wrote a thesis on Gronnels (German mathematician) discover that smell is amplified by heat, he discovered this by farting in a hot bath tub! \nHe found that when the resulting bubbles burst the smell was much stronger than usual! This is actually where the term 'Smellrika' stemed from! \nI was unable to prove a use for this phenomenon in my thesis , and I fear the same would apply to yours.\nHowever thanks for bringing it to our attention, I am sure the question will be debated for years to come.\nHope this helps??

yes there is and a human can die from it's own fart. fart is a gas, not oxygen, one man died because he was farting in his sleep and he didn't have any kind of oxygen in his room, he only had fart gas and it killed him. Some people also have combusted from fart.
