I don't in the least object to Faldage having another eponym but it seems to me that Wordminstrel is having trouble seeing the forest for the trees. "Hoist us back on course" is perfectly reasonable. It is scientifically possible to hoist, say a car back onto a race course without using a petard at all. Indeed if a petard is really a bomb and not some sort of crane as I always thought, then it is mechanically much more sound not to involve petards. Although Gonzo might not agree.
