What is an old slang Austrlian word for "fart"? [View all]

It's "trump."

I read this today on Huffington Post.

If you’re thinking that President Donald Trump is making you fart more, you might be right. (Fun fact: An old Australian slang word for a fart is a “trump.”) Stress or anxiety, about the current political climate or matters closer to home, can have an impact on how much someone farts, May said.
