Talk:Professional farter
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article can be confirmed. I tried prostrating, and I was able to suck in air into my anus and dispel it would controlled pitches at will. However, it was not flamable, likely due to the fact I was mostly farting oxygen. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wikologist (talk • contribs) .

[edit] "professional flatulist"
"fart" is not slang. If anything, "flatulence" is, a burgeois euphemism taken from Middle French, in use since 1599, while "fart" is a time-honoured, stable word used in all dialects of English, descending straight from Anglo-Saxon feortan. "professional flatulist" is tautological, you don't call a non-professional farter a "flatulist". dab (ᛏ) 13:08, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Oh, could I expel upon command ...
From the introductory article in the Exemplaria "web cluster:
-
- "Yet even flatulence can become sweet harmony, ..."
However, I'm not sure it be stretched into scholarship. (Purses lips)
This is an article derivative of a article published on the web, the site associated with a journal which apparently has some notability. Two questions arise:
- Is an article summarizing a web-published article associated with a scholarly (?) journal, notable enough?
- Does this article constitute original research?
Anyway, this is the link to the "web cluster" of articles published together on the site, here is the TOC of the latest copy of the journal (looks scholarly, no?)
Oh, yes, and as I do have some small acquaintance with someone of the medievalist persuasion, I must admit they do have a fascination with the oddities of history, and are not adverse to demonstrating that audibly.
