tapering 

Something that makes swimmers happy :D

Well, all athletes really...

It's working out really hard for a few days and then doing barely anything in a short amount of time. (usually right before a big game or meet)

When we were tapering, we only did 2500 instead of 7000 =)

Tamering is a method of psychological bullying in a group setting. Strong tamering comes with the shameless ignoring of both initial question and potential follow-up questions, leaving the inquirer confused and insecure.
