Fart is an English language vulgarism most commonly used in reference to flatulence. The word "fart" is generally considered unsuitable in a formal environment by modern English speakers, and it may be considered vulgar or offensive in some situations. Fart can be used as a noun or a verb.[1] The immediate roots are in the Middle English words ferten, feortan or farten; which is akin to the Old High German word ferzan. Cognates are found in old Norse, Slavic and also Greek and Sanskrit. The word "fart" has been incorporated into the colloquial and technical speech of a number of occupations, including computing.
Fart is sometimes used as a non-specific derogatory epithet, often to refer to 'an irritating or foolish person', and potentially an elderly person, described as an 'old fart'. This may be taken as an insult when used in the second or third person, but can potentially be a term of endearment, or an example of self deprecatory humour when used in the first person.[2] The phrase 'boring old fart' was popularised in the United Kingdom in the late 1970s by the New Musical Express while chronicling the rise of punk. It was used to describe hippies and establishment figures in the music industry, forces of inertia against the new music.

Burp or belch is a very natural process in which air is expelled out through the oral cavity.Whenever we eat or drink some amount of air is also swallowed.Most of it is pushed into the stomach but some maybe trapped at the lower end of the esophagus or the food pipe.This air comes out through the mouth resulting in a burp.
Even though it's a very natural process,excessive burping or if associated with pain,heartburn,vomiting,nausea ,weight loss or decreased appetite should be viewed with concern.
Anxiety and emotional disturbances cause a dry mouth with frequent swallowing of saliva and cause excessive burping.The same occurs with poorly fitting dentures or chewing gum.
Gall bladder stones cause burping associated with pain in the right upper side of the abdomen.Peptic ulcer disease.hiatus hernia and gastroesophageal reflux also cause burping.Other causes include food allergies,milk intolerance,eating veggies such as cabbage and cauliflower and irritable bowel syndrome.Tumours of the stomach and oesophagus also cause burping.
Expulsion of foul smelling intestinal gas by burping occurs in cases of gastric outlet or intestinal obstruction
