The most phisically demanding sport, you will ever encounter. It's hard, exhausting and makes you feel like you want to collapse. Rowers get up every morning at 6 to go out in the freezing cold weather to row with there 'pogies'. Even in 12 degree weather, they walk around in a one piece lycra and a spandex top. During winter training, rowers train inside doing runs, circuits, weights and ergos which normally consist of 2k, 5k and the dreaded 30 minutes. 30 minutes are dread awful. It's hard to describe the pain of 30 minutes but most rowers are crying by halfway. Rowing is the greatest dport ever. Admit it. It's true.
"Hey I'm going rowing after this."
"In this weather? It's raining!"
"Hey, don't worry, I've got my full lycra and spandex kit to keep me toasty warm" ;)

Assisted masturbation session involving a circular series of interlocking dutch rudders.
A true "stanford rowing team" consists of 8 "rowing" members directly participating in a full dutch rudder circle as well as one "coxswain" who counts out the stroke rhythm at desired pace for maximal satisfaction and general safety.
"Hey bro, wanna get in on our Stanford Rowing Team?"
"Isn't that kinda gay, dude?"
"It's cool, just don't make eye contact with the coxswain"
A rotwin is a hereto undefined arrangement of syllables that will as of now be used to denote a person with many both admirable and regrettable attributes, thereby generating a great deal of ambivalence.
Generally intended as a masculine noun, it might also be applied to a female in more "liberated" sects of society.
Ex. "Oh Ross, you're such a rotwin; I just don't know what to do with you."
A Rodina is a nice person. Beautiful, both on the inside and the outside. She can also be very wrong about how she is, she usually thinks she's worse than she is, which is wrong. Tends to think less of herself. She doesn't care much about anything but when she starts to care about someone (Which is rare) she cares and loves very deeply. She will care about you like you've never been cared about before. If you can make a Rodina care about/love you then you're one of the luckiest people ever. If you have a Rodina then you have EVERYTHING in thw world.
