Today in things you didn't know you needed to know. You're probably familiar with the phrase "hoisted by his own petard," but do you know what it means?

A #petard is a small bomb. And the #etymology of that word comes from Latin for "to fart."

So a somewhat fanciful interpretation of the phrase is "lifted by a fart rocket"

Quand tu as trop #tirer sur ton #pétard ! lol

Those two who are doing this, US District Judge Reed O’Connor in Fort Worth and attorney Jonathan Mitchell, better hope that they never find themselves under the knife of a gay surgeon who, based on this precedent, could proceed as his conscience directed him.
