Perhaps but there is a 'relatively' honorable history to the use of the word and the discussion of the same. I give you Benjamin Franklin; Fart for freedom, fart for libertyand fart proudly. and He that lives upon hope will die farting. While a 4-letter word, it is a word, as used by this MP, is eloquent as a simile, a noticeable but worthless reality.
Franklin was not a lady.
