Bum gas.
Not really! The most scientific name would be “flatulence”.

Bottom burp.
If you are doing a lot of farting, you would have ‘flatulence’ but if you wanted to talk about a specific fart, it would be your ‘flatulus’. 😉

It’s mostly methane I think. On Titan (the biggest moon of Saturn) there are lakes of liquid methane. Brian Cox on QI has described them as “liquid farts” which amused the comedians on the show! 😉

I don’t know why you would talk about a specific fart, but if you actually wanted to talk about the gas that came out, it would be Flatus 😛

Well, it does make a sound like ‘FFLLL’ too!
