this has really turned out to be quite an interesting Saturday afternoon. On the one hand I have you playing language games with me, cool. From upstairs I have the young woman who lives there pumping 'gawd knows' what 'tchoons' through the floor boards at me. I'm trying to retouch half a dozen old slides in PShop. And the stereo is trying to introduce me to my feminine guide through the complexities of modern life. Keeping me on my toes if nothing else. Really aught to think about getting dressed at some point I suppose...

Look, I totally lost my flow ..If you must drink (beer) thank you If you must drink beer then you must dr...(you petered out didn't you...) Yes (Ok I'll rescue you: " I have always thought the term petered out referred to a fuse or powder trail which lost fire before reaching the charge, as in mining, where the expression is used to denote the end of a vein, or as with a flintlock or cannon, where the fire must be led to the main charge. I find no proof.
Joseph Schmitt - don't you make chocolate truffles in San Francisco? Oh, sorry, that's Joseph Schmidt. Well, not-the-truffle-guy-Joseph, petered out is one of those phrases that the OED claims is of unknown etymology. However, we've done a little mining of our own and have found a couple of possible explanations for the phrase, though there's little to no proof for either of them.
Charles Funk admits that the phrase's origin is not known, but he guesses that it might come directly from St. Peter, who, in the Garden of Gethsemane, went from an ear-cutting defense of Christ to a lily-livered denial in a very short time. It's not a huge leap from that image to the meaning of peter out: "to diminish gradually and come to an end." However, Ernest Weekley thinks it could come from French peter, "fart" and refers us to the term fizzle out, another onomatopoeic term (from the sound of the fuse on a firecracker or the like sputtering out). Yet Paul C. Beale, editor of our copy of Eric Partridge's A Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English, likes the St. Peter story.
The term dates from the early 18th century in the U.S. The first recorded usage is as mining slang, referring to a mineral petering out.
Another word which probably comes from St. Peter is peter meaning something which is secured with a lock. This is because St. Peter was depicted holding the keys to heaven. In the early 1600s a peter meant a trunk but it now survives only as British criminal slang for a "safe" or a "jail cell". (Though, of course, in Britain, that would be written "gaol cell".)"
