Someone mentioned the word ‘Speedophile’ to me the other day in an email.
To be honest I had never heard of it in context and after checking up urban dictionary I had to scroll down to find the ‘speedo swimsuit’ related meaning.
Speedophile is a Petrol-Head who’s ONLY concern is “How Fast It Goes”…………They see points as prizes, and have usualy got more than one speeding conviction, but see it as an injustice, rather than a warning they are going too fast.
Thie last resting place is usualy wrapped round a tree.
However, I think this is the meaning which more applies to us….
Speedophile is someone who has an unnatural penchant for wearing Speedo style swimming trunks.
Although I would argue that there is nothing unnatural about it at all – if anything boardies are what are unnatural.
If I got a bunch of bumped stickers like this made up…. would you put it on the back of your car?
Maybe the trend is changing about speedos.
When I first got back in the pool here in New Zealand about 5 months ago I thought that there were way more swimmers wearing speedos than those wearing dork shorts. We are talking laps here. But yesterday I was at the pool and there were 4 other guys in the pool and they were all wearing dork shorts.
What I don’t get is that the same guys will nude it up in the changerooms. Interesting.
Must have just been a bad day. I wish I was hanging out with these guys though.
