Build cathedrals just to fart in them

(idiom)

To put deep care and meaning into something - only to follow it with something hilariously undignified, awkward, or unexpected. A poetic expression of how beauty and absurdity coexist.
He gave a TED Talk that moved the crowd to tears while trying to suppress a fart - and tripped walking offstage letting it rip. We build cathedrals just to fart in them.

We spent hours crafting a delicate love letter to humanity… then added a joke about a presence queef. We build cathedrals just to fart in them.

Achoo-fart

It's a sneeze, cough, & in-between those occuring, a loud fart is released. Usually an embarrassment to the farter but hilarious to others.

Monkey Farts

Sounds like a horrible smell but it's actually a smell similar to the combination of a rain forest and pineapple field. Instead of thinking of a negative person, you think of someone like a hippy-spiritual and at peace. Or could it be they're a wolf wearing a sheep's clothing and smelling like monkey farts?
When I walked into the room a strong smell of monkey farts hit me in the face, coming from a very strange person trying too hard to get my attention.
