Did an angel speak?


did someone just fart? (rhetorical)
this is a humorous way of alluding to a fart that cannot be overheard when in company. it appears in james joyce’s “portrait of the artist of a young man” when a group of students are discussing various philosophical issues. one of them farts and another of the group asks him: “did an angel speak?”. it is also defined on fartnames.com as “any loud fart in church”. joyce obviously used it humorously, aware of its religious connotations.
