Gangbro

There are some words and phrases that I have to think twice about. How would you interpret these in English?

1. Gangbro

2. Din fart

If I could write the answers upside down like in the newspaper quizzes, I would, but the first word means 'walking bridge' (it is not an eubonics expression for a brother who is a member of a gang) and the second expression means 'your speed' (not whatever else you were thinking). That's something you would see while driving, when there is a device by the side of the road that displays your speed.

Plus, I confuse things like 'reke' and 'rekke' which look very similar but are pronounced differently and have much different meanings. For example, we live in a 'rekkehus' which is a townhouse. But you eat 'reke' which are shrimp. I think I have been telling people I live in a shrimp house!
