It's travelling at 40,000 kilometres per hour.

I need details.

When it comes to pet peeves regarding speech patterns, I guess I can't be the only husband whose wife will spend painful long minutes describing useless background content to a story, and then skip through the important bit very quickly, just as you got bored enough to stop following the story?
