Je pete le feu

So one of my students in grade 7 approached me and said that he had been talking on the phone to his uncle who lives in Quebec and his uncle told him to tell his French teacher: "Je pete le feu."

It was a phrase that was somewhat foreign to me as I what I thought it meant couldn't possibly be what his uncle was trying to convey.  Or was it?  The verdict's still out.

"Je pete le feu" has two meanings.

Meaning #1: I am full of energy.

Meaning #2: My farts are on fire.

I'm still chuckling.
