The Geography Of Farts

Posted 09.07.2007 by The Shit Volcano (3646)
I have lived in five different states and nine different cities in my lifetime, and I have to say in that some places the farts are stinkier than others. Could it be the water? The local cultural foods? Or maybe even the weather? I don't know for sure; I just know that it happens.

Probably the stinkiest farts I've ever smelled are released in central Florida, though I had one occasion in Portland, Oregon, when some old woman in the grocery store ripped one so bad I had to change check-out lines before I puked.

On the forums, we played a game where we decided what farts smell like in major cities. (Do Houston farts smell like oil? Do Los Angeles farts smell like film? Do Atlanta farts smell like peaches? Do New Orleans farts smell like mold and dead bodies?) Here, though, let's talk more about science and experience. Have any of you experienced farts that are local in character?

Most people here in central Pa. are quick not to smell them. (a fart)-But we do like to name the sound- like an animal maybe? Duck fart, pig, dog bark and bird chirp fart. Sometimes maybe it sounds like some "Stevie Nicks song" fart. Which is a whole different animal.

One post to completely derail the object of the thread...nice!!!!

doniker (1517) -- 09.07.2007

Since my comment to this is exactly the same as what I said on the forums, I just cut and pasted that post:

I think differences stem from foods and the way they are prepared.

About 20 years ago I lived with my then girlfriend and her parents for about a year.

My girlfriend's father did all the cooking and he had some very questionable cooking, thawing and storage habits for his food.

During that year I had alot of bad gas and bouts with the screaming shits all the time...I'm sure it was his fault.

But in order to have cheap room and board and a chance to bang his daughter on a regular basis I put up with it.

Hamster (579) -- 09.07.2007

Doniker - this is way off subject, but did not the presence of GF's parents restrict your activities in any way? I've never been in that position, but have been told that the presence of parents on site is more efective than all other birth control methods.

doniker (1517) -- 09.07.2007

Well Hamster, my girlfriend and I slept in different bedrooms but where there is a will there is a way!! We usually did it in the afternoon while her parents were at work.

Hell, back then I got much more sex than I do now...now I'm married, live in my own house and allowed to do it anytime

Hamster (579) -- 09.07.2007

Ah, my married friends all say the same thing!! Mind, as an unmarried now, I'm no better off.

But you were lucky they both worked whilst you could be in the house, I think!

doniker (1517) -- 09.07.2007

When I was single I got laid constantly.

I will admit many of them were nasty hoes but it's all pink on the inside.

Relationships and marriage is the kiss of death to your sex life.

Just a little cynicism, I think, MSS! It comes to most of us.

The Thunderous ... (653) -- 09.07.2007

Now back to the geography discussion! Lets see. Now East Coast farts are hip I really love the way they stink. And the Southern farts with the way they're ripped they knock me out when Im down there. The Midwest west farts they really stink from corn and the Northern farts with the sulphur stench they keep you warm in the sheets at night. I guess by now you know where Im going with this? I wish they all could be California farts. The West Coast has the veggies and the farts dont stink as much. I dig a California smoothie or Hawaian pineapple fart, it makes pooetry from my rear. Ive been all around this great big world and Ive dealt all kinds of farts but I couldnt wait to make it back to the states to the BEST FARTS IN THE WORLD. Special thanks to the Beach Boys here!

I'm not sure about geography, but at my gramma's house in PA, it always smelled like cabbage soup. The farts always smelled like cabbage soup. We are slovak, incidentally.

Here, there's a saying "the aroma of Tacoma", and it really does smell near the port of Tacoma. Bad on some days. I'll have to be a little more aware when in town if someone lays down some gas.

You're all a bunch of fart sniffers!

Me, if I detect even the slightest trace of foreign flatulence, I seal up my nostrils and mouth and flee the area as quickly as possible.

And that's why I can't differentiate the scent of farts by geographical location.

Hamster (579) -- 09.08.2007

As Bilge wants posts on the subject, I'll say that the idea of geographical fart smells is totally ludicrous to me.

The stinkiest farts come from D.C., which is built on a drained bog. In fact, the seat of foreign policy is in an area called Foggy Bottom and Congress is located up on Crapitol Hill.

You can’t smell the farts on the east coast of New Jersey near the chemical factories. The sulfuric acrid smells from these stink factories will douse even the strongest bean fart

famous Coward (not verified) -- 09.12.2007

i wish a fart would be more controlled by myself... as long as odour is concerned in farting geopolitical situation doesn't matter... i suppose

shitwit (532) -- 09.13.2007

I lived in the Adirondacks for 2 years, the local farts are scented with venison, wood smoke and Genny Red. I lived in southeastern PA and the farts smell like pork roll, mushrooms and Yeungling. I lived in central Jersey where the local blend was manicotti, cuban cigars and Chianti. I lived in Vermont and the local offering was maple syrup, cheddar cheese and Pabst Blue Ribbon.

All this talk about regional fart qualities gave me an idea: FART POSTCARDS!!!!

So fellow poopers: here's one for y'all! This is pickled beets, baked beans and Samuel Adams straight from Massafuckingchusetts! Nice, huh? Come visit and smell for yourself!

Massachusetts farts are the worst, just live here a bit, you'll know why ( has to do with P words).

However, I will be nice and say that they smell like salt water.

Darlington UK, they tend to smell of rich & heady, steam locomotive.

like a constipated accountant- I worked it out with a pencil.

sittingpretty (158) -- 03.22.2008

Geographically, the universal fart is a fart of festering fetid constipation that is hot(eye-glasses fog up),silent(nose hairs evaporate) and knee buckling, near loss of consciousness deadly(need to lie down in a cool well ventilated room to regain composure).

prarie doggin (1555) -- 03.22.2008

I was once at a convenience store somewhere in the midwest. As I was reaching for change, I let out a small deadly fart. The clerk looked up at me and said "you're from outta town are'nt ya".

sittingpretty (158) -- 03.23.2008

Once I was in a dept. store with my mother browsing. I was letting out these silent searing hot, very dense, very large garlic and onion combined with month old shit smelling gasers. I walked around the racks watching the faces of the other women including my mother as they stepped into a freshly delivered one. I laughed to tears over and over again. The second they smelled the invisible cloud of old shit fermenting their heads fell back like they walked into a glass door. Their faces scrunched and contorted, nasal flaring, and bearing teeth in disgust as they attempted to get away from my emission. Those kind last from hours to days. Once my mother realized it was me she scurried us out of the dept. telling me how horrible my gas was as it kept knocking her out over and over. She thought it was the clerk that was always near her when she smelled it.We laughed until we cried.

MSG (453) -- 03.24.2008

I have lived in TN, IN, LA, WI, and VA; no difference in fart smells ever became apparent to me, either from myself or other people. Most of my farts are air--sound (or not) without smell. The rest divide into two categories: PC (poop coming) and H (hazmat). The PC farts give away the impending bowel movement, and the H ones puzzle me. Yesterday, after quite normal meals, I let a few hazmats outdoors on a windy day and could still smell them for a minute or so--yuck! Later I pooped. After hazmats, I would expect that the poop would be runny and rankly stinky, but this was neither; it was basically normal, with minimal odor. It did stop the hazmats, though.

Southwind (10) -- 03.31.2008

I consider myself quite well traveled, with a keen sense of smell. However, I've never quite distinguished the smells of U.S. city folk quite like the scents emanating from foreigners on international flights. For instance, Air France smells quite a bit different than Thai Airways. British Airways is relatively mild with a powdery nose, but I'd think twice about flying Air China again (it's a heady, humid cabin on board that airline, and 15 hours non-stop). Mexicana Airlines is fine heading south of the border, but a far spicier olfactory situation coming back north (regardless of the national origin of the passengers).

"Most of my farts are air..." How boring! Sounds like you've been put under a gypsy curse, MSG. Someone needs to give you move hazmats and less air! Great fun in elevators!

Well I tell ya what.....i'm from minnesota so does that mean my farts smell like walleye??

Anonymous Coward (not verified) -- 05.09.2008

I chased hurricanes for a living too. The most unique campfire storm farts, in post hurricane zones were the florida gulfcoast redneck riveria shrimp scented beer fart and runnerup Kauai Kalaheo Rum based mahi mahi blast fart

The Shit Volcano (3646) -- 05.14.2008

Depends on where you are, fartqueen. I know someone from Minneapolis and his farts all smell like beer. Which is weird. I'd think that would be in Wisconsin.

baron von crapalot (444) -- 05.14.2008


MSG, once being involed in a localised study of olfactry response, I learned that, if your nose is exposed to an odour for a prelonged period, then your senses cancel out said odour, to allow them to concentrate on others around them.

When you fart, how long does it last? Is it a quick 'Frp' or, ( as I suspect..) a Frrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrp, Frrrrrp, Frrrp..................Frp.

If the later is true, then no matter where you live, you just won't smell it!

Did I just fart?.... hope so!

ChiefThunderbutt (240) -- 06.09.2008

I traveled rather extensively when I was in the US Air Force. I never noticed a distinctive difference in the farts of most world cultures I visited. God help the nostrils of anyone who inhaled the essence of the Icelandic delicacy hakari if it became more pungent after being extruded from an asshole. Hakari is rotted sharks meat and is not something you would rub behind your ear before a big date.

The rice farts of Japan are certainly bearable when pooted from the anuses of the comely young maidens of the land of the rising sun. The addition of dried squid may add to the pungency but, depending on the comeliness of the maiden can be quite bearable and even enjoyable.

In my younger days I will admit to having dallied with a woman of questionable morale character in the southern USA.
I noticed, during the dalliance, that there was an uncommon warmth enveloping my testicles. Soon my nostrils let me know that my family jewels had been farted upon. The smell was of beans and cornbread with, perhaps, several green onions. A feast indeed for my olfactory
center.
