James BennettI saw someone point out today that to a French speaker “ChatGPT” reads like “Cat, I farted” (« Chat, j’ai pété ») and now that is what I am going to think of every time I see it mentioned.
You may be interested to know that the same etymology applies to "petard", the thing with which one is famously hoist.
Medieval French people apparently could find no better analogy for the action of early gunpowder bombs than... well, a certain sometimes-explosive bodily function, and so the verb péter (politely, "to break wind") was nouned as pétard, which now is the etymology of several modern languages' terms for small fireworks.
