Brain Blips or Brain Farts

“My kids came home from school today talking about ‘brain farts.’ I told them there was no such things and I didn’t want to hear that ‘f’ word around the house. They protested that their teacher said they occur. Do they?”

 The word “fart” or the term “break wind” refers to a disorder of the digestive system that results in expelling intestinal gas out through the anus—often accompanied by noise or an undesirable odor. It can momentarily stop all conversation as people look around to try to discover the cause of this social faux pax. Perhaps because it can be embarrassing and unpredictable, the term has also been applied to brief episodes of forgetfulness or mental confusion that may occur at any age. I prefer the term Brain Blips because there is typically no sound nor odor, and it involves the opposite end of the body. No surprise, kids tend to enjoy the term brain farts.
