South African slang — derived directly from Afrikaans — for a fart. Cheerfully crude and widely used across South African communities regardless of background, poep has permeated South African English to the point where most people reach for it without even registering it as Afrikaans. It's also used figuratively to mean nonsense or rubbish (talking poep = talking nonsense), and 'poephol' extends the word into stronger insult territory. In everyday South African speech, poep is about as offensive as 'fart' — which is to say, barely at all.
The dog let out a silent poep in the back of the car and everyone immediately blamed the youngest kid.
