| Nov 5, 2014 at 21:08 | comment | added | Sparr | @DanBeale when they do the thing (leave, fart, etc) without someone having excused them, then they've excused themselves. | |
| Nov 5, 2014 at 19:26 | comment | added | DanBeale | @sparr when someone says "excuse me!" They are not expecting anyone else to say "that's okay you are excused" - they are literally excusing themselves. It can't get much clearer and I'm not sure how you could get confused by this. Perhaps you should ask this question on ell (English language learners) stack exchange. ell.stackexchange.com | |
| Nov 5, 2014 at 19:17 | comment | added | Sparr | @DanBeale "excuse me" and "pardon me" are requests for someone else to excuse you. excusing yourself is when you do something (usually leaving) without someone else's permission. | |
| Nov 5, 2014 at 19:12 | comment | added | DanBeale | @sparr - i haven't got a clue what you're trying to say. When you excuse yourself you use phrases such as "excuse me" or "pardon me" or "sorry". If Bob farts Bob will excuse himself by saying "excuse me!" | |
| Oct 31, 2014 at 21:18 | comment | added | trejder | @MarkAdler Great! :] But that answer, I'm mentioning, wasn't actually joking, if I'm not mistaken. | |
| Oct 31, 2014 at 21:12 | comment | added | Mark Adler | Sigh. Yes, of course I was joking. | |
| Oct 31, 2014 at 21:03 | comment | added | trejder | @MarkAdler No, you're completely wrong, if you're not joking. There was some comment here (can't find it right now, I'm a bit tired), to similar answer, directly pointing out, that this is learning kids how to lie, deceive others and be manipulative. These are last things I'd like to show to my daughters, no matter, if we're talking about farting or anything else. | |

| Oct 31, 2014 at 10:27 | comment | added | trejder | @all I haven't got even a bit idea, that my simple question is going to bring so much attention. Thank you everyone for so many interesting and enlightening answers and comments! | |

| Oct 30, 2014 at 19:26 | comment | added | DanBeale | @sparr - "excuse me! I just farted"; "pardon me!"; "sorry!" | |
| Oct 30, 2014 at 19:06 | comment | added | A E | In my experience they usually laugh. Not saying that's ideal. | |

| Oct 30, 2014 at 17:03 | comment | added | Sparr | Can you clarify what action qualifies as excusing herself? Are you referring to asking to be excused? | |
