Nikita
a little sharpie poop-toot Hello. In an American comedy movie, a woman breaks up with a man and he recalls nasty things about her: "You know what? I heard you fart once. And it went (he imitates the sound of her breaking wind), and it was a sharp one, a little sharpie poop-toot." Could you explain the word "sharpie" here, please? What does it mean? And what is the difference between it and the "sharp" in "it was a sharp one"? Thank you.

Who knows? it is a very silly conversation and probably not worth you wasting your time on it.

Hi Nikita, two things come to mind. First, sharpie is a brand of permanent markers. The brand name sharpie is often used instead of the word "permanent marker." Second, sometimes people add -ie OR -y to the end of common words to make it a diminutive and/or sound... cute, for lack of a better word.

Ah well. It was an idea. :)

What an interesting interpretation, Chris! Though, I think it's but a coincidence that they sound alike, because he would've sung the line then, to make it sound like the nursery rhyme.

It's a reference to a well-known nursery rhyme. The chorus of the rhyme goes: “Little Bunny Foo Foo I don’t want to see you Scooping up the field mice And bopping them on the head." By making a phrase that sounds similar to "little bunny foo foo," he makes her think of the next line "I don't want to see you." Since he makes her own brain provide the line, it is even crueller than saying the line himself.
