Gas Exchange
When the Slitheen are in their skin suits they fart loudly; they call this the gas exchange. This can also be caused by over-eating. In "The Gift" (Sarah Jane Adventures) Sarah Jane and the gang destroy the food,a plant called Rakweed, which is native to Raxacoricofallapatorius, in the stomachs of the Blathereen, which produced methane gas.

Famous quotes containing the words gas and/or exchange:
“... when I awake in the middle of the night, since I knew not where I was, I did not even know at first who I was; I only had in the first simplicity the feeling of existing as it must quiver in an animal.... I spent one second above the centuries of civilization, and the confused glimpse of the gas lamps, then of the shirts with turned-down collars, recomposed, little by little, the original lines of my self.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“We shall exchange our material thinking for something quite different, and we shall all be kin. We shall all be enfranchised, prohibition will prevail, many wrongs will be righted, vampires and grafters and slackers will be relegated to a class by themselves, stiff necks will limber up, hearts of stone will be changed to hearts of flesh, and little by little we shall begin to understand each other.”
—General Federation Of Women’s Clubs (GFWC)
