I think fart would be considered a "slang" English word.

The word fart is derived from the old English word "feortan."of echoic origin, meaning the word was chosen to sound like the object named.

A:I thought it came from the Latin, farcio, farcire, farsi, fartum, meaning to stuff.

Yes. In fact the sewers that hold the multitude of feacal material, inc. urine, could do something like explode. Someday walk over to one and drop a cigarrette lighter into it, or a book of matches. The lid would go flying off, the sewer itself would be detroyed, and the fire and police departments would respond. So if you do choose to do that close all of your windows. The stench would be deadly.

Some flatulence does contain methane, but not all. The actual smell is due mostly to hydrogen sulfide.
