I remember the word for fart was pieru from my childhood growing up in the upper peninsula of Michigan with many Finnish speaking relatives and neighbors. Have farts evolved ? or has the word evolved over the last 70 years?

Pieru (a fart) is the same that it was 70 years ago.:)

My surname is Pieretti (Italian for straight feet) and I find this absolutely hilarious!
