skylee Posted December 15, 2004 at 11:35 PM Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 at 11:35 PM I am not sure if there is another term for it. But there is this book 尷尬的氣味──人類排氣的文化史 -> http://big5.chinabroadcast.cn/gate/big5/gb.chinabroadcast.cn/3321/2004/07/11/402@227097.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxlady Posted December 16, 2004 at 09:57 AM Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 at 09:57 AM if somesone say to you fang pi, he means nonsense. 胡说（hu shuo） but if it is really a fart, you can say: 五谷轮回之气(wu gu lun hui zhi qi)，your chinese will be very impressive. and I want to know is there any way in English politly to say "fart" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HashiriKata Posted December 16, 2004 at 12:45 PM Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 at 12:45 PM I want to know is there any way in English politly to say "fart" Has anyone heard of this expression: "Who launched an air biscuit?" By the way, in English you can call someone unpleasant or boring an "old fart". (and therefore, our secretary sometimes types the name of the place where I work as "Faculty o fArts" ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
