Is fart a swear?

Nowadays it's just a fart. When Lydia farts she always proudly announces "That was a fart, wasn't it?!" with a beaming smile on her face lmao!

Arent kids brilliant!

Na not a swear, just slang. We say trump in our house

I dont think, as a teacher, I'd be too comfortable with the kids using it.
We weren't allowed to use ut as kids either.

I wouldnt say it was a swear word but its definately rude!

We never used to call it anything hehe just used to be followed by "ewwwwww You smeellllll" I dont think we ever used to talk about it haha mum and dad would really mind too much if we did say it as long as it wasnt a repetitive saying it just for the sake....I can remember getting told off for saying "oh sugar" all the time when I was about 8....i think mum was just in a bad mood!

Since seeing the book "Farley Farts" about a frog that can't stop farting, I've found the word more acceptable. The book is written for pre-schoolers after all. Maisy uses "fart" regularly. There's worse things she could be saying I guess!

I was never allowed to say fart - I had to say trump!
When I say trump now though people just laugh!!!

I don't think it's a swear anymore!

I don't consider it to be a swear word - I hear much worse from the 15 years olds I teach

Me too!
Some of the words I hear pupils use

I don't think it's a swear word. But I'm not 100% comfortable about saying it
That said, I don't like any of the alternatives either. OH says windy pops and I just think that sounds stupid
