Perhaps it is not universal but to "trump" in UK is to fart.
e.g. "Has someone just trumped around here?"
Can also be used as a noun.

It comes from the second etymology of trump ... to make the sound of a trumpet.
(The first etymology is from "triumph"😉
@wolfgang59 saidSo, making fun of the Trumpster?

I also had a Teaching Assistant who referred to
pupils with wind as "trumping" or "bottom burps".
That was 10 years ago,
@wolfgang59 saidWe use to call them impolite burps. 😉

@ponderable saidCorrect, the "Polite Burp" would be through your mouth and you must always say: 'excuse me'! 😉
As opposed to "polite burps"?
