Moving as fast as possible.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The 'Fart' Joke: Swedes are very aware that 'fart' means something else in English. You might see tourist t-shirts in Stockholm that say 'It's not the fart that kills, it's the smäll' (It's not the speed that kills, it's the crash/impact). Efficiency over overtime: 'Full fart' at work is seen as positive because it means you are being efficient and can go home on time for your family. In cross-country skiing (längdskidor), 'full fart' is a technical necessity. Commentators use it constantly to describe the pace of the athletes. Characters like Pippi Longstocking embody the 'full fart' lifestyle—always active, never sitting still, and full of energy.
The English Trap
Never laugh when a Swede says 'fart' in a professional meeting. They are talking about speed, and laughing makes you look immature.
Use with 'Det är'
The easiest way to use this is 'Det är full fart!'. It works for almost any busy situation.
