पाद मारना (paad maarnaa)

verb A blunt, physical verb phrase meaning 'to fart' -- casual and slightly crude, used mostly among family or close friends rather than in polite company.
Sense 1 : to fart, to pass gas
verb, intransitive पाद (paad, 'fart' as a noun) combines with मारना (maarnaa, literally 'to hit/strike') in the common Hindi pattern of pairing a noun with मारना (maarnaa) to mean 'to do/emit' that thing, similar to चीख मारना (chiikh maarnaa, 'to scream').
Synonyms: पाद देना (paad denaa, variant form), गैस पास करना (gais paas karnaa, more clinical/polite)
Frequency: medium
Cultural Note: This is the kind of phrase kids get scolded for saying in front of guests -- Hindi households often have a milder euphemism reserved for polite settings, while पाद मारना (paad maarnaa) stays firmly in the realm of home, dost-yaar (dost-yaar) banter, and toilet humor.
Common Mistakes: 1) Learners sometimes try to use this in formal or mixed-company settings without realizing how blunt it sounds in Hindi -- it is fine among close friends or family but can embarrass in front of elders or strangers. 2) The verb मारना (maarnaa) here does not carry its literal violent sense of 'hit' or 'kill' -- it is functioning as a light verb meaning roughly 'to let one out.'
