fasthole
 n.Note: From “fast” + “asshole.” «Fasthole—ˈfast—hōl (noun): Someone who thinks they’re better than another runner simply because they are faster. In my group of running friends, we use the name as a term of endearment. But we do reserve the right to identify someone as a “true fasthole” if they exhibit any of the following behaviors:—Making fun of slower runners for being slower—Refusing to support their friends/teammates that are slower than them—Complaining about slower runners degrading the true nature of the sport.» —“Are you fast, or are you a “Fasthole?”” by Kelly Johnson Run Oregon (Portland, Oregon) May 20, 2009.
