Old Money Etiquette: The Unexpected Trend of 'Fart Walks'
Old Money Etiquette: The Unexpected Trend of 'Fart Walks' Takes the Internet by Storm In a recent video posted online, romance novelist Kiki Astor sparked a conversation about a surprisingly common yet rarely discussed practice: the post-meal walk, humorously dubbed a "fart walk." Filmed in a lush outdoor setting, Astor's video has garnered thousands of views and ignited a debate about the etiquette and cultural significance of this digestive aid. Astor explains, "Fart walks, or as the sophisticated call them, postprandial constitutionals, have been around forever, especially in old money circles." She goes on to detail how different cultures have their own terms for the practice, from Italy's 'La Passeggiata' to France's 'La Marche Digestive.' This demonstrates the universality of the practice, transcending cultural boundaries. The video's humor lies in the contrast between the elegant terminology and the inherent nature of the activity. Astor's witty remarks about etiquette add to the video's charm. "Don't call it that!" she exclaims, advising viewers to be discreet about their intentions if they must announce them at all. The unexpected popularity of Astor's video highlights the public's interest in unconventional health and wellness topics, as well as the appeal of humor in discussing sometimes taboo subjects. The video serves as a lighthearted reminder that even seemingly embarrassing bodily functions can be approached with wit and grace.
