Emotive explanations of a Observed symptoms(dropped,Blown,stuffed etc ) are useless, try to find the root cause or even a simple Event sequence .(Chicken or the egg!!!)

geez the different expression it appears you westerners use.


Here's one,
some one dropped one.
Do you then say, emitted methane,
or someone flatuated,
He farted,
he passed wind,
horse and carted,
or did he anabatic ( warm dense air that rises)
