What does “放屁” mean in English?
It means 'fart' in the literal sense, but it's also used to dismiss someone's words as bullshit.
Literally “fart”
You might hear it as an exclamation when someone thinks what another person said is nonsense, similar to saying 'that's crap' in English. It's a bit cheeky and can be used in casual or slightly confrontational contexts.

About this data
Swear Atlas is a source-attested, AI-curated reference — not a native-speaker-certified dictionary. Meanings and the 1–5 Burn Rating are approximate editorial assessments that vary with context, region, tone and speaker. Inclusion of a word does not constitute endorsement of its use.
The literal gloss is a short editorial translation to show word-for-word sense, not an etymological claim.
“Sounds like” is an English-friendly approximation of how the word sounds, not an authoritative pronunciation. Where shown, the romanisation is a conventional Latin-script transliteration of the original spelling.
