"FART He has let a brewer's fart, grains and all, said of one who has
bewrayed his breeches.
"Piss and fart,
Sound at heart.
Mingere cum bumbis,
Res saluberrima est lumbis."
From Scondrel's Dictionary compiled by Michelle Lovric, adapted "reissue" of
Captain Francis Grose (1731-91) The classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue
(1785)
My Latin is lousy, could someone translate. Sounds like a requiem for a
hanging.
