Human CentiPAX

A term for the phenomenon of people ripping too many farts in a large crowd, under the cover of anonymity. The collective offense hangs so thick in the air, the farts are not only in your mouth, but travel the whole way down such that you fart other people’s farts. The cycle is perpetuated by other people then farting your farts.

This often occurs at gaming conventions, where many attendees need reminders to practice basic hygiene.

Pax East 2020 was the smelliest convention I ever attended, it was like being in the middle position of a Human CentiPAX.
