from OED:
"farse (plural farses)
A vernacular paraphrase inserted into Latin liturgy.
Verb
farse (third-person singular simple present farses, present participle farsing, simple past and past participle farsed)
(transitive) To insert vernacular paraphrases into (a Latin liturgy). "
Of course, we definitely need more and unadulterated Latin, the international language of science for centuries, in aviation jargon

Why would you need to turn away traffic calling on the old 25KHz frequency? If you can both hear one another what’s the problem?
Using the correct frequency/channel is the pilot’s responsibility, not ATC’s.
