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?

Everyday Olympian

n: Someone who makes everyday tasks an olympic event. They are extremely competitive and will do anything for victory. They tend to exaggerate their motions to portray their complete dedication to staple activities.

Matt - "Hey did you ever notice how Greg will sprint up the stairs or see how many papers he can staple a minute."
Jimmy - "Yeah I have, he's just an everyday olympian."

Olympic toke

When someone with the lungs of a dolphin, or Michael Phelps, takes a massive hit from a bong.

Dude I heard Jeremy on the track team took an Olympic toke at the party last night.

Post Olympic Depression

The feeling of sadness, melancholy, and despair after the Olympics are over. Sometimes resulting with laying around all day moping in your house, or watching video highlights of the Olympics to cheer yourself up.

Dude: I'm gonna be so bummed after the closing ceremonies, watching the last 50k cross country ski race broke my little heart.

Brah: Yeah, I am definitely going to experience post Olympic depression when they are over. I will probably sulk and and mope for a week. Maybe I'll watch some curling highlights to brighten my mood.....

Olya

Sweet and spirited, lovely and loving, capable and creative. Olyas often have no idea how beautiful they really are. People are inexplicably drawn to Olyas. You will recognize an Olya by her quiet smile, her generous spirit and her amazing, easy sense of style. Olyas may not make friends easily, so if you're able to call one "friend" consider yourself very lucky.

Do you see that girl taking pictures across the street? The one with the cool dreads and that amazing skirt? She's such an Olya.
