Fallfart

Fallfart is a colloquial term describing the release of intestinal gas during a fall or rapid descent, typically producing a brief audible sound. It is used mainly in informal speech, online memes, and social media, where it serves as a lighthearted, ironic way to juxtapose a bodily function with a moment of falling.

Etymology and origins are informal and not well documented. Fallfart appears to be a straightforward English portmanteau of fall and fart, with no clear single originator. It has circulated primarily within online communities, including gaming and prank-related contexts, since the late 2010s.

Usage and context are informal and humorous. The term may be invoked in situations such as skydives, roller coasters, elevator descents, pratfalls, or other instances of falling where gas release is noted or imagined for comedic effect. Because it is not standard vocabulary, fallfart is not commonly found in formal dictionaries and is often considered crude or childish humor. Its reception varies by audience and cultural setting, with some readers finding it amusing and others deeming it inappropriate for polite conversation.
