Here's a couple of regional USA vernacular phrases for the word 'farting' that I ahve noticed:

In Atlantic City, New Jersy where I was raised farting was called "breaking wind".

In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where I live now {when African Americans fart} we say we have 'passed gas'. I don't think we use the word 'fart' very much if at all.
