i prefer to think of it as some obscure body part ...
he was so angry he walked right up to his rival and poked him - right in the petard!!!
he slipped as he was scaling the fence and was left dangling by the skin of his petard...
she was skipping along merrily when she tripped on a loose stone and landed heavily - she was fine apart from a graze on her knee and slight bruising to the petard....
