Definitions
Australian childish euphemism for farting, personifying the gas as a small pet animal ('fluffy') being released from restraint. The jocular domestication of a bodily function is a common pattern in family-friendly slang. The image of something small, fuzzy, and energetic being unleashed adds to the absurdity. Typically heard in informal, family, or slightly childish adult conversations. The euphemism is so mild it almost works.
Someone let fluffy off the chain in the elevator and everyone stared at the floor.
Comments
An Australian euphemism for farting — one of the most elaborate and gleefully ridiculous ways to describe passing wind in the English language. The image of a metaphorical small fluffy creature being unleashed makes it both childish and inspired. It's the kind of phrase that gets deployed at family dinners to make kids howl and adults groan in equal measure. Quintessentially Australian in its love of absurd, affectionate humour.
Someone let fluffy off the chain in the elevator and then had the nerve to look around accusingly.

- let one off68%
A discreet yet unmistakable euphemism for passing gas. To let one off is to fart — phrased in a way that somehow makes the whole business sound almost polite, like you're releasing a small package rather than clearing a room. The phrasing is classic British English indirectness: specific enough to be understood, vague enough to maintain a thin veneer of decorum. Used in casual conversation, comedy, and the universal experience of blaming it on the dog.

A polite euphemism for farting — passing gas quietly or discreetly. The phrasing suggests a kind of deliberate, controlled release, which is part of the humour. Widely used in everyday informal speech across English-speaking countries as an inoffensive way to refer to flatulence.
