Hello,
Is the verb "fart" really offensive? If so, then what else would be more appropriate to use.
Thank you. |

Yes-- it is slang that should only be used with close acquaintances in casual situations. The subject is best left unmentioned, but 'break wind' and 'pass gas' are more acceptable euphemisms.
