Detroit Lean is when you let out a fart while you are sitting down and you lean your body to one side or the other while lifting your leg, ever so slightly, so the the fart can blow away faster, or come out even louder, should you want to impress your boys with your ass gas. Everyone does it, even if few are even aware that they do.
