The usual technical name for "farting" is "flatulence". Flatulence is the expulsion through the rectum of a mixture of gases that are byproducts of the digestion process of animals - mostly mammals and especially mammals that eat plants - carnivores are much less prone to flatulence. The mixture of gases is known as flatus in medical terms, informally as a fart, or simply "gas", and is expelled from the rectum in a process colloquially referred to as "passing gas", "breaking wind" or farting.
