Editing Fart (word) (section)

===Modern usage===
While not one of [[George Carlin]]'s original [[seven dirty words]], he noted in a later routine that the word ''fart'' ought to be added to "the list" of words that were not acceptable (for broadcast) in any context (which have non-offensive meanings), and described television as (then) a "fart-free zone".<ref>{{cite web |title=Verbatim transcript of George Carlin's "Filthy Words" prepared by the Federal Communications Commission |publisher=George Carlin |url=http://www.georgecarlin.com/dirty/dirty3.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070715090842/http://www.georgecarlin.com/dirty/dirty3.html |archive-date=2007-07-15 |access-date=2009-10-07}}</ref><ref name=seven>{{cite web|url=http://law2.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/conlaw/filthywords.html|title=Filthy Words|last=Carlin|first=George|publisher=[[University of Missouri-Kansas City]]|access-date=September 24, 2015}}</ref> [[Thomas Wolfe]] had the phrase "a fizzing and sulphuric fart" cut out of his 1929 work ''[[Look Homeward, Angel]]'' by his publisher. [[Ernest Hemingway]], who had the same publisher, accepted the principle that "fart" could be cut, on the grounds that  words should not be used purely to shock.<ref>{{cite book |last=Leff |first=Arthur |title=Hemingway and His Conspirators: Hollywood, Scribners, and the Making of American Celebrity Culture |url=https://archive.org/details/hemingwayhiscons00leff |url-access=registration |year=1997 |publisher=Rowman & Littlefield |isbn=0-8476-8545-4 |page=[https://archive.org/details/hemingwayhiscons00leff/page/105 105]}}</ref> The [[hippie]] movement in the 1970s saw a new definition develop, with the use of "fart" as a personal noun, to describe a "detestable person, or someone of small stature or limited mental capacity", gaining wider and more open usage as a result.<ref>{{cite book |last=McCleary |title=The Hippie Dictionary: A Cultural Encyclopedia of the 1960s and 1970s |year=2004 |publisher=Ten Speed Press |isbn=1-58008-547-4 |page=174}}</ref>

[[Rhyming slang]] developed the alternative form "raspberry tart", later shortened to "raspberry", and occasionally abbreviated further to "razz". This was associated with the phrase "[[blowing a raspberry]]".<ref>{{cite book |last=Burridge |first=Kate |title=Weeds in the Garden of Words: Further Observations on the Tangled History of the English Language |url=https://archive.org/details/weedsingardenofw00burr |url-access=registration |year=2005 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |isbn=0-521-85313-3 |page=[https://archive.org/details/weedsingardenofw00burr/page/28 28]}}</ref> The word has become more prevalent, and now features in children's literature, such as the ''[[Walter the Farting Dog]]'' series of children's books, [[Robert Munsch]]'s ''Good Families Don't'' and ''[[The Gas We Pass]]'' by Shinta Cho.
