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:
“Shielded, what sorts of life are stirring yet:
Legs lagged like drains, slippers soft as fungus,
The gas and grate, the old cold sour grey bed.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“If mass communications blend together harmoniously, and often unnoticeably, art, politics, religion, and philosophy with commercials, they bring these realms of culture to their common denominator—the commodity form. The music of the soul is also the music of salesmanship. Exchange value, not truth value, counts.”
—Herbert Marcuse (1898–1979)
