fartlek (FART-lek) noun

A method of training, originally developed for runners, that
involves
intense activity interspersed with low effort. For example,
sprinting

[From Swedish fart (speed) + lek play).]

Ew... that word is just too obviously gaseous to be
aesthetically pleasing. I hope somebody bans that word! I'm
just offended...

we'll have to get phob's or gonzola's OFFICIAL 'yea' or
'nay' dat, but appears so.

what i thought of when i thought of speed is what does the
police officer say to you when he pulls you over for a
SPEEDING ticket? =0)

I guess the Swedes can pull you over for ''farting'' over
there... sounds good, must be a fresh smelling road system.

next to them. imagine being with strangers and having to
admit THAT!

my girlfriend (who studies english and french) told me about
a french word for the upper part of old windows in europe
(an additional wing on the top that cannot be opened or
something). i dunno how to write it in french but the thing
is if you pronounce it correctly in that language you say
'was-ist-das' what is actually german (you wouldnt know as a
french) and does mean "what is this".
