ogle \OH-guhl\, verb:

1. To look at amorously, flirtatiously, or impertinently.

2. To eye; look or stare at.

Ogle traces its origins from the Lower German oeglen, "to look at," but ultimately comes from a now extinct word for "eye," oog.

puppy fart syndrome

• Puppy fart syndrome is when a person is shocked or woken by their own fart.

I was enjoying a good meal with family and friends when I let out a small cough, but also let rip with a huge fart. Puppy fart syndrome made me jump and quickly leave the room.

I was just drifting off to sleep when I let out a loud fart and woke up startled at the loud noise. Puppy fart syndrome can happen to us all occasionally.
