Unfortunately
iconoclast originally mean (religious) image breaker (word came about during a ecclesiastical turmoil about weather imagery is idol worshiping and whatnot)
icon meaning image
clast meaning "slam/break" has survived to being used only in "breaking wind" slang in modern greek and eventually devolve to simple "break"(klano), so klastis just means "farter" now, so all I am hearing is "image brapper"
That word did not age well here
