Comment on A Slight Explosion Between The Legs by Polly

Yes, it’s true. Your grandfather did not lie.

When i was in fifth grade (in 1977) attending Eastern Elementary school in Fenton, Michigan, someone in our class looked up the word “fart” in our dictionary and it had the same definition. We all thought it was hilarious… we all had to see for ourselves. I actually don’t remember the word “slight” in the definition, though. This is how I remember the definition: “Fart – an explosion between the legs.” Perhaps I simply forgot about the adjective “slight”. I have remembered the definition to this day because it just seemed so odd…and funny.

That’s hilarious. I can’t believe that’s true, but I’ll take your word for it. I’ll have to tell him about this. His reaction will be worth remembering. Thanks very much; isn’t the Internet amazing!

I googled “a tiny explosion between the legs” just now and found this. The reason I was googling? The dictionary in my elementary school had that exact definition for a fart. Your grandfather did not lie!

[...] Hair. I can’t believe it, but every time I meet him he has less of it. The old thatch on the roof is seriously thinning, and in a few years time I can’t see him having anything on top. Fancy that, having an egg in the nest before the age of 30. I suppose, at the very least, he doesn’t have grey hair. It’s just madness though, so I have to count myself lucky that, apart from a little thinning at the corners, where a receding hairline is beginning, I am blessed with a full head of the stuff. [...]
