(first name) let a trump,
(other first name) tried to catch it,
(3rd first name) went behind the door
And hit it with a hatchet.

Oh dear me! The bridge-playing lovies of the north don't trump, they 'break wind' or 'let Polly out of prison'.

Whilst whist players do indeed trump, poker players have a run and a flush, but bridge players only drop one occasionally.

Seriously, in Hull at least 50 years ago 'pump' was only slightly ruder but more common than 'trump' and 'fart' was a definite swearword.

If I have "trumped", my (English) husband always asks, "More tea, Vicar?"

I was a bit puzzled the first time he said it, but it does make me giggle...

When I was at school, "pumps" were a sports shoe - the equivalent of the modern trainer.

When my daughter was at school "pump" meant fart. It always caused her amusement when I referred to trainers as pumps.

I prefer the Dutch expression (apologies for spelling!)
"Geev de boer een stool", or "Give the farmer a seat", along the lines of "who let that commoner in here? but more subtle"

I've also seen a sign behind the bar, like a road sign with a trumpet with a line through it!
