The title translates as 'the farting woman' or 'the woman who farts', and is used to describe several tunes whose feature is a pizzicato note or series of pizzicato notes (a plucked string on the violin), evocative of a demure escape of gas. This "La Pèteuse" tune was in the repertory of Gaspésie fiddler Édouard Richard (1934-2019).
