Comment on Is there a word or phrase in your language to describe the situation when you wanted to fart but shit yourself?
Funnily enough, Peter is the German version of Pierre.
Both names come from the same word (Petrus or Petros meaning rock). As you might expect, German “fist” and French “péter” for “fart” are distant cousins too: “pezd-” -> “fistiz” -> “vist” -> “fist” or “pezd-” -> “peditum” -> “pét” -> “péter”.
I love etymology! In terms of PIE that means that in “Peter farted five times fisted.”, 4 words have the same root.
