You must be like me. I'm from the south, and my farts smell like fried chicken and magnolia blossoms. :D

No! It is still a social no no. Besides the fact that most people are not going to stay around to see what it smells like, on day you are going to eat the wrong thing and your now pleasant flatulence will become less than pleasant.

people who say that usually refer to their own farts and not those of others.

Personally, I don't like smelling anything from other people, even if it is something like too much perfume.



So really, you should try to avoid farting where others could smell it.

Of course it's okay.



If enough people like, consider marketing it and selling it.

It's rude to fart in public because no one wants their nostrils filled with a nasty smelling aroma, right? I mean, here you are - minding your own business - and then you smell a foul odor. It's a sense of courtesy NOT to fart in public because you are putting people in a sense of discomfort. I mean, I do believe people make it out to a bigger deal than it actually is, but people should at least respect other peoples personal space.

You should excuse yourself and leave the room to fart. Do you like it when other people fart around you? Doubtful.

In the middle ages, loudly breaking wind was an act of appreciation to the housewife: Martin Luther is quoted as supposedly having said Warum rülpset und furzet ihr nicht, hat es euch denn nicht geschmecket? ('Why don't you belch and fart, did you not enjoy the meal?'1). This rule of behaviour has now been abandoned and gas should be released only after having stepped outside. Persistent failure to abide by this rule may lead to social isolation.



Some more points are:



If you are a real gentleman and realise that a lady had some small misfortune then you are supposed to plead guilty in her place and formally excuse yourself.



If you cannot blame the dog because there aren't any around, you may try to shoot an embarrassed look at the nearest of your companions. However, everybody knows this trick and it is extremely likely to fail. The same is true for raising your volume while speaking, or moving your chair in an attempt to cover the sound.



Pretending to be innocent can help, but only if you manage to keep yourself from asking questions like 'Ooooh, who did that?'. Because everybody knows that whoever smelt it, dealt it, or whoever denied it, supplied it.



Farts can bring more excitement into wedlock if administered in a Dutch Oven2: this is where one partner lets go a huge fart, pulls the duvet cover or bed sheets over the head of their loved one, trapping them in a confusion of methane, while shouting triumphantly, 'Dutch oven! Dutch oven!' The person trapped will wriggle like an eel, the trapper will then nearly die laughing and it will all end up in a really boisterous play fight. Of course, this is all in questionable taste.



Passing wind in a lift is strongly advised against. There is no way for the victims to escape or open a window, and revenge may follow immediately.



It is wise to stay clear of suspect food well before such important occasions as a job interview, the school ball, receiving a Nobel prize, or asking your girlfriend the 'big' question.



You should know what's about to happen if someone stretches out their hand to you and asks you to pull their finger. There's danger ahead. Don't do it!



If everything else fails and everybody is staring at you, you may try to turn the wrongdoing into an accomplishment: put on a proud face, declare it as an achievement, and challenge your mates to beat you with an even louder one. But be prepared for a reply along the lines of 'Pray for your soul because your body is already rotten.'

OMG. That is Disgusting..You must be a kid or a very immature adult. Have some self respect and quit asking these ridiculous things. If you are female, Hopefully not then I feel really sorry for you. Passing gas is a better term if you are a female or you will sound like one of the guys and why would you want to do that?

This is REALLY disgusting & I really hope that you are joking! "Passing gas" in front of anyone is rude no matter what, and the fact that you think they actually smell "pleasant" means there must be something mentally wrong with you.
