farnarkeling 

Fictitious sport invented by New Zealand/Aussie genius John Clarke, in his persona of NZ sheep farmer Fred Dagg.
To quote his website "In essence, Farnarkeling is engaged in by two teams whose purpose is to arkle, and to prevent the other team from arkeling, using a flukem to propel a gonad through sets of posts situated at random around the periphery of a grommet. Arkeling is not permissible, however, from any position adjacent to the phlange (or leiderkrantz) or from within 15 yards of the wiffenwacker at the point where the shifting tube abuts the centre-line on either side of the 34 metre mark, measured from the valve at the back of the defending side's transom-housing."

fartmark 

A mark on the backside of underwear resulting from flatulence which excretes a small amount of fecal matter. Usually brown in color.

Also a derogatory name.
Example 1: You have a fartmark in your underwear.

Example 2: You're a fartmark.

Audible flatulence expressed for the purpose of navigating through a crowd in the dark.

Humans are not capable of navigating via sonar (like a bat), so fartnar is the only logical alternative.
I totally just used fartnar to disperse the crowd.

farnarkle 

Australian, verb: to waste time; to spend time in unnecessary and/or unproductive activities; to muck around; to faff about.

Derived from the late great comedian John Clarke's commentary on the obscure but magnificent (and totally nonexistent) sport of farnarkeling.
The leadership team as usual just farnarkled about for the whole strategic retreat, all they produced were some hangovers and a few irrelevant flip charts covered with sticky notes.

All you ever do is farnarkle. Will you just bloody well finish the dishes?
