Woman arrested for assaulting farting husband
Too much farting led to a few punches being thrown in bed! Rob Smith (@robsmithonline) has all the details about this flatulence

Fuss; commotion; furore I should think.
@Tes yeux noirs,
Cool.
Thanks.
BTW, I didn't get this from Oxford:
http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/flap
Just a seeming close:
A state of agitation; a panic:
your Gran was in a flap, worrying she’d put her foot in it
"15. Informal.
a. a state of nervous excitement.
b. an emergency situation.
c. scandal; trouble."
"5. flap - make a fuss; be agitated
dither, pother
fret, fuss, niggle - worry unnecessarily or excessively; "don't fuss too much over the grandchildren--they are quite big now""
Hope that helps.
