FART CATCHER. A valet or footman, from his walking behind his master or mistress.
- Francis Grose, Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue: A Dictionary of Buckish Slang, University Wit and Pickpocket Eloquence (1811) [full text]
Pah! This reminds me of a friend of mine who takes “Fart Walks”. She just disappears and comes back saying “Had to take a fart walk.”
