Just wondering
Like a volcano, when it’s still inside you, it is magma.
Maybe it should be called a fubble?
Hmm. Lava comes from Magma. M is just after L.
Using that logic, a Fart comes from Gagma, which some people truly can eject.
That’s fitting cause I’m gagging right now
Like a vulcano, it’s either dormant, active or erupting. So dormant is no gas, active is gas, erupting is letting the gas out, ie. farting
When used as a noun a fart refers to “an expulsion of intestinal gas1” or “An emission of wind from the anus; an instance of breaking wind2”. So, I would say no it is not because it is defined as leaving the body. While in the body it is flatus which is gas in or from the stomach or intestines.
2 OED
Is a fart the gas itself, or the passing of the gas? The definition says it is the passing of the gas. Therefore, a fart isn’t a fart until it’s been farted. Before that, it’s just gas in the ass.
It’s the lava/magma debate all over again.
Not really a debate there, geologists pretty universally agree that magma becomes lava once exposed to air
So if I take lava, put it in a heated vacuum chamber… would it become magma again?
Is it a passing of the gas if no one’s around to smell it?
No quantum physic questions please
Quality. Thank you for posting.
These are mysteries of life that need investigation.

It’s in a superposition of fart and shart until released at which point the wave form collapses into either a gaseous or liquid state.
A fart is only a fart when it exits your body. Before that, it’s gas. Exiting transforms it to a fart.
And how is a fart different than gas?
A fart is an ephemeral, gaseous configuration of molecules as they pass through a specific orifice in a specific direction. In short, a fart is not the gas itself.
It’s the idea
And you can’t kill an idea
Thus the term, “passing gas”
Schrödinger’s fart until proven otherwise
As a professional Fartographer, I can confirm this is the correct answer. Sometimes you’re feeling confident that you’re hanging out with a fart, but then it comes out to you as poop.
Then you have to tell it, “look, I still appreciate you as something I created, but I can’t support your choice of being poop.” And then you tell it that it has until the weekend to get out of your pants.
Where do you set up the seismometer? 🤔
Near the crack
Bravo
You can’t study it directly without bringing it out into the world and measuring it, but by doing so, it immediately collapses into a fart.
It’s a quantum superposition of being both a fart and a number 2. You never know until you observe the results.
Schrödingers Fart
…or poo
Schrödingers shart
It’s a fart from the moment of conception.
Unless it’s a burp
“a fart is a turd honking for the right of way”
I heard it as “a trapped turd’s cry for help.”
There is a time, a very early time, when it has not found it’s way yet. Then it can become either a fart or a belch.
Or the dreaded, felch
That’s like asking if the universe existed before the big bang.
I don’t want to stray from OP’s question, but as it’s already been answered: have you guys read the following paper on pre-fart gas re-entering the blood stream through the colon’s wall?

This is a very important topic
Here’s a link directly to the video transcript from what if: https://whatifshow.com/what-if-you-held-in-all-your-farts/
I think yes. At the very least, it is a fart bubble.
That’s when it has exited the hanger, but is still on the runway

At the risk of breaking the metaphor: no it’s not, and there isn’t one, thank goodness.
