Sometimes you just gotta laugh!

Laughing is good for everyone, but it can be especially important if you're struggling in any way. Last night while chatting with my Chronically Awesome friends, I read some out of an American slang dictionary that I bought the other day, and let me tell you this: It's impossible to read the page containing Fuc without laughing your ass off and have fountain tears like a clown! Yes, the dictionary does have the word FUCK in it, and a handful of other words containing fuck, not quite what you expect to find in a book purchased in Sweden.
Talking about Sweden, let me give you a fartfull experience in my native language!

Our word for speed tends to crack foreigners up, the word is no other than fart, so we have farthinder, infart, utfart, påfart, avfart, fartgräns, and many other words related to traffic that contains the word fart.
So, you might think we're driving around in a lot of flatulence but that's not quite the case, even though our language can be rather hilarious if you mix Swedish and English and get into Swenglish.
So here comes a short gassy list of Swenglish words to get you around in the traffic, in Swedish, English and Swenglish!

Farthinder- Speed bump- Fart bump
Infart- Entrance to parking lots etc- In fart
Utfart- Exit from above mentioned- Out fart
Påfart- Entrance to highway- On fart
Avfart- Highway exit- Off fart
Fartgräns- Speed limit- Fart limit
Fartfull- Full speed or action filled- Fart full

There are tons more of fart words and expressions in the Swedish language, but these are the ones I could think of just on the go like this.

And always remember: It's not the fart that kills, it's the smäll (smäll is pronounced like smell)     (It's not the speed that kills, it's the impact)

Be careful with the gas (accelerator) on the roads and always follow the fart recommendations and fart limits, they're there for a reason ;)
