What Should Be The Term For When A Fart Goes Up Your Vagina?

There's currently no word for this. Let's name it once and for all.

Ok, you know that thing where a fart goes up into your vagina? Usually if you're slouching on the couch in a particular way, or wearing really tight pants?

Ok, non-vagina havers, chill the fuck out. This is normal, it happens. It's perfectly natural.

It seems to happen most commonly if you're positioned in a specific way, like if you're slouched on the couch, or have really tight pants on. Something that's going to keep that fart from going its usual route past the buttcheeks and out into the ether.

Broadly recently talked about this phenomenon after a very popular Reddit thread discussed it – basically, a ton of women all agreed this happened to them, too. They suggested the terms "vart," "exiting through the gift shop," "cooter pooter," "sisterhood of the traveling farts," or even "retweeting."

Before you ask, this is not to be confused with a QUEEF. A queef is different.

A queef is when air gets trapped up into the vagina during, say, a strange yoga pose or sex. Then, when the air comes back out, it makes a farting sound.

What we're talking about here isn't the sound when it comes out of the vagina. Usually the fart up the vagina isn't really enough air to really get up in there and cause a queef to come back out. Also, queef air is usually just clean outside air – this is specifically butt fart air.

There's currently no WORD for this natural occurence. We need a word for it. Let's change that. Let's decide on a word right now and make that the word.

We know that getting a fart up your vagina is perfectly natural. Let's all move past that.

What I care about here is the very human desire to name the phenomenon of our world. I care about the taxonomy of it.

We have the power to come up with a name RIGHT NOW. Let's do it, and then start using that word, and then that word will just become The Word. I believe in us.
