FART Acronym question????

Sorry to ask a stupid questions, but I keep seeing all these postings with FART in the subject line and words.  At first, I thought it had something to do with flatulance, but the context doesn't make sense.  Anyone willing to help me out with the meaning? Thanks, Dave

I dont know who started it, but it seems like its kind of a rip on the main board which consists mostly of women.  If you ever read posts there they talk about how they had their WOW moment.  Well that would be kind of a gay way for a man to say that something just really great happened due to our having surgery so the men call it a FART.  My wife is post op for a couple of years and she has been on OH for all of that time.  She used to and still does at times lurk around the men's board because she doens't care for the main board and this was her explanation to me on this subject when I joined OH earlier this year.  I am sure one of the veterans can verify if this is correct or not.   Dan

Buckeye John is the one who came up with that term.   I don't see him the boards for a long time.... here is how it started... http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/men/board_id,5479/cat_id,5 079/topic_id,758611/a,messageboard/action,replies/#5701772

If I remember correctly it stands for Fabulous Awesome Radical Terrific.  It is used to discribe great things that happem.  Its a guy thing - using the word FART....

May the FARTS be with you my WLS post-op Men's Board cyber bud. Great things that happen we wouldn't think much of except we couldn't do stuff becaue of our past girth that we now can, or things people say about or too us that is kinda cool becasue we look different or do stuff we couldn't, etc etc etc Kinda like a good fart, quite noticeable, you feel alot better, then gone forever. .

best part is the GONE FOREVER part.....................     ***biting my tongue on saying anything about the "gay" comment***   

You're a better person for it I'm sure. I'm proud of you and your restraint.

LOL - thanks Joe.   I can hold my tongue on ocassion.....   It's rare, but it does happen.....
