I love this word: 'spoed'.
It just sounds great! Don't forget though that this is pronounced more like 'oo' than in English 'oe'.
It's also quite relevant as we went past a hospital the other day and one of my children asked… what does 'spoed' mean? (It was written 'spoedgevallen' on the sign).
Spoed or spoedgevallendienst is in fact A&E or Casualty in English.
