A gymnast is a highly trained athlete who excels in several events (*1, *2) which test strength, speed, coordination, agility and beauty. Elite Gymnasts (Olympic level) train up to 8 hours a day and are known to be some of the most dedicated athletes in the world. Gymnasts are graded on a very difficult scale of 10.0, with 10 being perfection.
1*Males compete in six events: Vault, Floor, Pommel Horse, Highbar, Rings and Parelell Bars.
2*Females compete in four events: Beam, Vault, Bars and Floor.

"Hey Jessica, you're really pretty today."
"Oh so you're saying that yesterday I was looking like shit. Also you're saying that because I'm a white fit woman. That makes you a pathetic misogynist and racist. Let's not mention the fact that if I didn't pander to your sexuality, I would be called unattractive and ugly. You, John, are a dumbass and a patriarchal pig, do you know how stressful it is to be a woman and having to look sexy 24 7 just so men get horny in this society? You don't, because you are such a privileged white male."
"Wow Jessica that was some serious mental gymnastics you did right there..."

My girlfriend cheated on me. She said she had a dream I cheated on her, so her cheating was justified. Except her dream happened the morning after she cheated on me. I'm surprised she didn't strain herself doing those hamster gymnastics.
