Funny, that movie was called "The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down" in English.
In Japan, they used the title "Old Man Carl's Flying House" for Pixar's Up.
Unbelievable
The tagline makes it even funnier
As someone who only speaks English, that movie poster is clearly just using Simlish. Gjor deg klar? For rosh tid! Sui sui, haha! relationship improved
If this bus drops under 50 MPH, you’re gonna see some serious shit.
I know this is old, but it is a bit irksome that this post is titled "Fact of the day" when it can't even keep its facts straight about which country does what.
Those signs aren't from Sweden. Our traffic agency (who prints the signs) doesn't use 'fart' meaning 'speed' - except for 'gångfartsområde', 'walking speed area', which disappointingly enough doesn't even have the text on it - but mainly uses 'hastighet' meaning 'velocity'. Other commenters in this thread have posted examples of 'fart' in a different meaning being used on Swedish traffic signs.
both the E47 and E55 also don't exist in sweden, E55 is only signposted up until køge in denmark.
hastighet
As a native speaker of a language that's unlike anything, I envy you folks so much. Knowing enough English and German you just look at it, and go 'aaah, speediness' (I guess the 'hast'/'hastig' bit is the same as 'haste'/'hasty' in English, and the 'het' is the same as 'heit' /~ness'/ in German).
You wouldn't guess the word, but reading it in context is so much easier.
"fart" is colloquial swedish for speed, but it's not used on signs like that. as mentioned previously the correct word is "hastighetskontroll", but we don't actually have signs like that for permanent speed cameras. those signs are blue, and just depict a camera.
when "fart" appears on signs, the actual meaning is akin to "travel" or "fare", like german "fahr-" words. so we have "sjöfart" (seafaring), "rymdfart" (space travel), "fartvind" (wind rushing by when moving quickly), "uppfart" (driveway) and, importantly for signs, "utfart" and "infart" (exit and entry for vehicles).
my favorite of this is a sign nearby on a narrow road that warns about multiple exits with no sight lines.
Hah, just wait until you get to the slutstation!
Every station is a slutstation when you're with me, baby.
Nah. Just let it rip.You'll have to get used to each other's farts eventually. Might as well get it over with right on the first date.
It's less about the fart itself, more about demonstrating that you're capable of restraint.
I'm blowing past that limit
It's not the fart that kills, but the smell.
For the uninitiated: This is a Swenglish joke, a mistranslation of "It's not the speed(/fart) that kills, but the impact(/smäll)"
Always practice fartkontrol, when you go to the slutstation.
My wife and me are always chuckling when in Germany taking the Ausfahrt.
That kind of speed is called hastighet in Swedish..
I have to say, I normally find the "ha-ha, this word sounds like something else in English" stuff to be a bit... provincial, but I'll admit some are a bit .
English: ride to art museum
German: Fahrt zum Kunstmuseum
I'd probably be pull over by the police officers everyday.
this post stinks
What is that 2 - 12 kmh sign? A speed limit for a pedestrian road?
I guess you need to expect your farts being controlled over the next 2-12 km.
I will never not laugh at this
I am only learning this now??!?!
Thor is that you?
