i kinda like the french verb "Péter" which is not referring to an actual peter but to the act of passing gas. in a sentence it would be used in this manner-
"i'll pète plus haut que son cul." ["he farts higher than his ass."] this is a term of derision meant for snobs.

Is this what the term to 'peter out' is about?
could be- the term fizzle originally meant "noiseless flatulance." so to fizzle-out would mean the same thing as to peter-out. but i prefer my flatulance to be voiceless as that gives me more time to duck around the corner.
