I will never tire of telling Americans that to a lot of British people, "President Trump" sounds like "President Fart", and that it makes no sense that you would elect someone called that, even if they weren't stupid, senile, shit their pants in public and batshit crazy.

It's not the fart that kills you. It's the smell

Fart is speed Smell is impact

Smäll is impact but it's pronounced smell.

I barely can communicate effectively in English sometimes. If I'm lucky I might get German across. ;p. Those are the only two words in swedish that I know.

It's really important to fartkontrol when you go to the slutstation.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 days ago (1 children)

End is slut. One that gets pointed out often is that terminal/final stop is slutstation

At least two, maybe all three, of those photos are from Norway.

But yeah, we have the same word. I do believe the fact that our trains have "slutstation" to be funnier.

I first discovered "Fart kontrol" when driving in Denmark in Euro truck sim 2. That was an amusing moment.

I fart, her til, mein teil.

what does it mean in this context? It looks like the emergency stop button, what does it have to do with speed?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It is the panel outside of the elevator. "Fart" means speed and "I fart" means that the elevator is moving. Hertil means "to here" and is the button you use to summon the elevator to your floor.

Mein teil is when you have a friend over and you feel like barbeque, but the fridge is empty.

ah ok, I fart looked like it was a button, not a light, but I see it now, thank you

:D ;-)

"I fart" means "in movement", just an indicator that it's on its way, and "hertil" is as you guessed a combination of "her til" meaning "to here", that's the button you press to call the elevator.

i don't know swedish at all but: in german there is the word "Fahrt" which may be understood as journey, but may also be used in a phrase like "wir machen zwölf Knoten Fahrt" (our speed is twelve knots).

(No idea why I'm writing this, but I'm not gonna delete it now)
