I am interested in the etymology of words and learnt ( on QI ) that the word 'Partridge' derives from a French word for a fart, as this is the noise the bird's wings make when it takes off.
I also learnt that the word ' Petard' ( an old word for a mine or bomb), also comes from a French word for fart.
The similarity of this word to the name of a Star Trek character gave me an idea for a cartoon:
Until next time
Adieu
