fart

Audible bodily gas

A fart is an expulsion of intestinal gas through the anus, or the sound or smell it produces.

The verb means to release such gas: Who farted?

The word is mildly vulgar but common in casual speech.

To fart around is to waste time or act aimlessly.

An old fart is a boring or out-of-touch older person.
