OkieRick, much as I would like to buy your Dynamis to try it out, I don't dare to at this time.  If my wife ever found out, there would be a tremendous mess to clean up.  Sorry.

As a Canadian, I tend to use the English spelling for many words.  So that would be Olde Phart, if you please.

Jim,
I have been a student of etymology (origin of words), for many years, especially "Cognates" and various translations. From the Latin word for "full" or "full of it", but interesting that in Swedish, the singular word means "Speed". So there are a lot of speedy fellows on the forum. 

However if you add  "old", it translates to "Tribal Leader". It is a term of pride in first person, but an insult in second and third person usage. 

We seem to have a lot of elderly "speedys" on the forum, so in Western Indian it would translate to "Too many Chiefs and not enough Braves".   

Old Indian Chief proverb: "I am old because I have learned how to stay alive". ("Let the braves do the fighting, I'll stay in my wikiup where it's safe")

Very well.  I would like to take this opportunity to thank the phonetically correct Olde Phart of Canadia and the Speedy Chief of Yampa Valley for the wisdom and stability imparted onto this forum.  Keep up the good work and high standards.

You too, PD.
