This is badly written, you take an excessive amount of time in each case to make your point.

I went to school with a guy who really wanted to ignite a fart with static electricity for some reason. This was back when schools still used CRT computer monitors and you could collect some static by waving your hand over the screen. So he had his friend (Fred) collect static from a few screens and then touch a metal desk while he aimed his butt at the same spot. He let it rip and Freddie touched the desk getting a decent bolt of static but sadly there was no flame or glory. ☹ More unfortunate was Freddie took that fart at point blank range to his hand and said it still smelled like fart three days later. Dunno if that was true but he was called "Freddie Fart-Fingers" for the rest of high school. 🙂

I love the contrast between Simon’s overly posh and professional presentation and the fact that he spent 15 minutes explaining why fart jokes are so funny

Simon somehow manages to talk about mooning with a straight face and a voice worthy of an urgent breaking news reporter. Well played as usual.

There's an account in Herodotous's Histories about an Egyptian general who signalled he was going to rebel against the Pharoah of the time by standing up in his saddle and breaking wind violently, he then told the royal messenger to take that to the Pharoah as the answer to his summons. Not mooning, but still an account of a fart being used to begin a war, and a tale I'm always puzzled was never made reference to in The English Patient either...

We were partying and he suddenly started shushing everybody, calling for everyone's attention. He was in a big lounge chair, and reared back with his legs in the air...lit lighter held to his ass. He'd done it before...in jeans...but he was in those light nylon sports shorts with the built in mesh briefs. As the gas hit the lighter, it went whoosh, but the flames didn't stop at the cloth of his shorts. The shorts were yellow, and I still remember the glow of the flames *within* the yellow fabric...and his howls as he swatted at his own crotch...ultimately flipping himself all the way over in the chair.

My grandparents built a cottage on a small lake in northeastern Wisconsin in the 1940s. It had no plumbing except for a handle pump for water in the sink. Hence there was an outhouse. That outhouse was the only bathroom until my parents, who bought the cottage from Dad’s parents after they retired to North Carolina in the late 60s, put a burner toilet inside when I was around 8 years old. Grandpa put no moon in the door, but in a nod to the fact that people would use old Sears Roebuck’s and Montgomery Ward’s catalogs for toilet paper, he made and hung a “catalog” inside that he fashioned from a piece of wood and painted to look like one. (Grandpa was an artist, working for a paper company, designing advertising and packaging.). He also painted designs on the walls inside.

It wasn't a mooning but one time I let one rip in a dude's car that was bad enough that he gagged as we went around the corner and we went in the ditch. It was a 4x4 so we got right back out and didn't do any damage to his truck. He wanted to be mad at first and punched me in the arm and then we ended up laughing it off because he knew I got him good and we drank an 18 pack.

One time, I dared my brother to moon our neighbor who then had a heart attack an hour later.. 🙃 We felt so guilty.. but thankfully he lived and is still alive. 🤣

Farted in class once. Got sent to in school detention for it because I had " caused a few of the cheerleaders and teacher to gag". The guy in detention said, you can't be punished for bodily things. Go back to class. SO I walked right back into the same class, with the same people, and sat down. Alone. sat there Alone for sure after that lol .

This is not the history we deserve, but the history we need.

7:40 -- I have my copy of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle right here and the last entry of any of the constituent chronicles was 1154. Crecy wasn't fought until 1346, the main source for it being not the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle but a French chronicler named Jean Froissart. However, Froissart mentions no such incident. The Mooning was actually supposed to have happened at Caen, taken by the English on the way to Crecy, but Froissart doesn't mention it there either. Wikipedia used to list this incident in its article on mooning, but it was removed just last month, probably after this script was written, and without explanation. (Which also tells me where the writer got their information!) It cited two sources for this fact, one of which didn't actually mention it, and another which could only footnote it to the old BBC program "Connections" but without citing a specific installment. That last also directed us to a website without providing the full URL, which had a transcript of the relevant lines. When I finally tracked down the page, it just cites "an English writer". The full quote from Connections is: "An experienced archer could loose nine arrows a minute, and, as the grim jest of an English writer put it, when the French would turn to show their backsides to the English in disdain at the bow, 'the breech of such a varlet has been nailed to his back with an arrow, and another feathered in his bowels before he should have turned to see who shot the first.'" Googling on the quotation from the "English writer" turned up only the book where this citation occurred. So who knows where this came from or whether it's even true? YES I DID SOME ACTUAL RESEARCH, OKAY?

If mooning is indeed a gesture of crapping on your enemy, it reminds me of the Greek custom of moutza. The gesture is simple extending your hand, palm first and fingers outspread, at face height toward the person to be offended. it's still a very strong insult today, and care must be taken not to make the gesture (for instance, in tavernas, if you wish to sign for 5 of something, do so showing the back of your hand). Legend has it that the gesture goes back to Byzantine times, when it was the crowd's habit to grab handfuls of dirt or manure, to shove in the face of the condemned on the way to the place of execution, or other people being vilified through the streets.

The reason for the moon cutout is both simple and ingenious. It lets in light and air but is impossible to see anything through it. Try it sometime.

My mom told me that back in the 70s my teenage dad and his friend Kris got in trouble for mooning people while standing in front of a police station

Also we once had a person in NZ called Dun Mihaka. He mooned Queen Elizabeth.

You forgot that mooning was also referred to as "giving the devil's face". The devil was though to have two faces, and while most depictions had the second face on the back of his head, some artists depicted it were he would sit, as an insult to the devil.

@Write me 𝟱𝟬𝟮𝟮𝟭𝟵𝟳𝟳𝟲𝟴 I take it you wish to know the source of the information. Back in the summer of 1989, I was taking a tour of Carlisle Cathedral and the tour guide explained it as he was showing carvings on the edges of wooden chairseats that folded up. One of the carvings was a devil's face, and he explained that the monks during the ceremonies would get a little tired and lean on the chairseat edge for support. Since it would be considered sacrilegious to put ones exit hole on or near a religious image, any carvings on the edge of a chairseat were specificly non-religious. He then went on to tell of "giving the devil's face" to someone as an aside, as well as that one of the carvings was of a cat, but when the chairseat was folded up, all you could see was the smile, and that may have been the inspiration for the Cheshire Cat of Alice in Wonderland.

I'd never heard of it being calling Mooning when I was a kid and just thought it was a rather dull censored American phrase when I first heard it. I had no idea most of the world used that phrase.

Why?

My note: The crescent moon shape is achieved by spinning the round plate behind the hole to from 5 degrees to 180 degrees, depending on one's preference for ventilation. A turn of about 15 to 30 degrees effects a crescent moon shape. The shape is an accidental result of the selected degree of aperture.

I would presume that the crescent moon on toilet doors isn’t a moon at all. To open the door, let in light and offer ventilation, as stated, most toilets had shaped carved out (hearts, diamonds, etc). But, they’re easier to look through from the outside. With the coming of more privacy (due to separate houses, bedrooms, etc.) the “opening” became more of a slit. So, all the functionality, but less chance of being spied on.

You crack me up!😁

Nothing goes better together than deadly farts and a fresh food sponsor

pre-1960 childhood, none of the family outhouses had any cutouts on the doors. enough light/vent came in through cracks between the planks.

The crescent moon on outhouse is just an convenient handhold for opening the door which later became decorative.

The fact the host can deliver this ridiculous part of human history so professionally is danged impressive.
