chuff

chuff
n
British
1.
the anus, backside. A word which has been heard since the 1940s and which is innocuous enough to use where other synonyms are taboo. The etymology of the word is obscure, but it may be from the dialect meaning plump (which is related to chuffed meaning pleased).

a fart. A schoolchildren's and students'
vulgarism recently popularised by Viz comic.
