Thanksgiving brings together families, friends, and, of course, plenty of food!

A fart walk is exactly what it sounds like: a walk outside to relieve gas after eating a large meal.

The term was first used by 70-year-old cookbook author Mairlyn Smith on social media, who would talk about walking after dinner to pass gas, according to a post by UW Medicine .
