Did you know?
- In some regional Brazilian slangs, the act of farting is jokingly referred to as dar um tiro or 'firing a shot', treating the gas like a projectile.
- In Portuguese, there is a distinction between peido (the noun) and peidar (the verb), and the noun is often used in idiomatic expressions to describe someone who is a coward.
- If you are trying to be extremely polite or clinical, such as in a doctor's office, you should avoid peidar entirely and use the term flatulência.
