"brain-farting" 脳のおなら? 面白い表現ですが、何でしょう? "brain-farting" の項目で掲載している辞書は見当たりませんでしたが、"brain fart" の項目はありました。
・Oxford English Dictionary: A temporary mental lapse or failure to reason correctly.: I'm having a brain fart and can't spell his name correctly.
・Wiktionary: Something ill-considered and said or done impulsively.
Usage notes: Mildly crude and inappropriate for formal settings.
