the suffering olympics

The pointless endeavor of comparing different tragedies or histories of oppression to one another by attempting to quantify the suffering and/or injustice of each, so as to determine which tragedy was more tragic, or which oppressed peoples were more unjustly oppressed.

Jamie: Did you heard about the bombing in Boston?
Frank: The Arab world suffers violence like this every day as a result of US foreign policy.
Jamie: ...let's not play the Suffering Olympics.

--------

Alan: The fight for LGBT rights is this generation's great civil rights movement.
Rob: Their is no comparison between the struggles African-Americans faced and the struggle of the LGBT community.
Allison: Neither compare to the struggle women have faced.
Alan: Do we really need to play the Suffering Olympics?

School For Advanced Suffering

The name students of Special Forces Assessment and Selection 'lovingly' refer to it as. Three weeks of hell that includes: running, ruck marching, land navigation, and the dreaded Team Week.

Also the first step in soldiers' training to become US Army Special Forces soldiers, known as the Green Berets.

I'm so glad we somehow made it through the School For Advanced Suffering.

Wow! You did? Did you get selected there?

I did.

summoning the genie

Masturbation. Can be used for either males or females, as long as the act requires rubbing with a hand.

I spent all night summoning the genie when I shoulda been working on my term paper. Now it's going to be late and I have a hand cramp!

Summoning the monkey

Summoning the monkey: a euphemism for masturbation.

Originally coined by Liam O'Brien of the Critical Role D&D ensemble, and subsequently (maybe) made canon by DM Matt Mercer's explanation that summoning the monkey is the past time of many a wizard in their early years of training.

Sam: Have you seen Liam?
Laura: He's in the bathroom, probably summoning the monkey.
Sam: Thanks, I think I'll join him.
