Queefing??

sorry, every time i see this thread...
I think I may be able to shed some light on "queefing". I would guess that it wouldn't be found in the dictionary, but it probably has been adapted from the French term for farting as in j'ai quife (sp?) I farted. Well - I thought it was French, but now I can't seem to find a reference to it, but it may be used just by ladies (thus the new parallel meaning) or it is Italian?, but I know I've heard it somewhere and that it meant farting..
Of course this is how new words are formed. The OED guys go out and look for instances and when they find enough in the right spots the words get added to the lexicon.

It's not Italian, Eden.
lol
(I am fluent in Italian) but I like your french theory.
Maybe our Cheri will be cited in the OED for coming up with a new word.
alright ladies - here it is - and I didn't make it up, I found it online....where else?
(Redirected from Queef) Vaginal flatulence
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vaginal flatulence (flatus vaginalis in Latin) is an emission, or expulsion of air from the vagina, often during or after sexual intercourse or (less often) other sexual acts, stretching or exercise. The sound is somewhat comparable to flatulence from the anus, but does not involve waste gases, and thus has no specific odor associated.
now tell me what the OED is
Oxford English Dictionary
PS thanks Cheri, i thought you made that up. Further, thanks for teaching me (US) a new word!Originally Posted by cherinyc
Its been a long time since high school - but I could swear that the term was in one of the jokey little books Merde or Merde II that she had around for our amusement - you know interest them in the language by letting them learn the "dirty" words - and that it was a delicate term used by ladies meaning to fart.Originally Posted by mimitabby
