Is a fart a fart before you fart it?

Eh_I, Nope, could be a turd.
NeoNachtwaechter, There is a time, a very early time, when it has not found it’s way yet. Then it can become either a fart or a belch.
Painintheass, Or the dreaded, felch
Jimmycrackcrack, By definition, it is not.
Kolanaki, Is a fart the gas itself, or the passing of the gas? The definition says it is the passing of the gas. Therefore, a fart isn’t a fart until it’s been farted. Before that, it’s just gas in the ass.
rmuk, It’s the lava/magma debate all over again.
ALostInquirer, Is it a passing of the gas if no one’s around to smell it?
xtremeownage, It could end up being a shart.

Gallardo994, It’s a quantum superposition of being both a fart and a number 2. You never know until you observe the results.
ArtVandelay, Schrödingers Fart
MudSkipperKisser, …or poo
DosDude, Schrödingers shart
bstix, That’s like asking if the universe existed before the big bang.
rhythmisaprancer, I've always said it's better to burp it and taste it than to fart it and waste it. YMMV
AmidFuror, It's a fart from the moment of conception.
Chainweasel, Unless it’s a burp
TonyHawksPoTater, I think that a fart is specifically gas passing out of your intestines. Until it does that, it's just gas.
JohnDClay, If you hold a fart in long enough, could it become a burp? Or does that only go one way, from potential burp to fart?
null, Wait, are you implying that if you hold a burp long enough, it becomes a fart?
JohnDClay, Yes, the gas has got to go somewhere…
leaky_shower_thought, I’ve heard of a person that can’t burp. or rather has an extreme discomfort in burping due to some accident that hit the shoulder neck alignment.
Said person also is an expert at how to not butt clap farts so yeah.
pixeltree, Possible TMI warning, I’m into stuffing my butt with dildos and will occasionally do a deep clean with a large enema, around 6-8 liters. When I do that much it pushes the gas in my bowels back through to my stomach and it makes me burp. Gross but neat
hactar42, When used as a noun a fart refers to “an expulsion of intestinal gas^1^” or “An emission of wind from the anus; an instance of breaking wind^2^”. So, I would say no it is not because it is defined as leaving the body. While in the body it is flatus which is gas in or from the stomach or intestines.
^2^ OED
originalucifer, my gastrointestinal atmosphere is none of your business.
CrazyLikeGollum, It’s in a superposition of fart and shart until released at which point the wave form collapses into either a gaseous or liquid state.
