ORIGIN OF THE WORD ‘OLYMPICS’

In keeping our readers informed on new-found knowledge, here is the origin of the word “Olympics”:

A slave call girl from Sardinia named Gedophamee was attending a great but as yet unnamed athletic festival 2500 years ago in Greece.

In those days, believe it or not, the athletes performed naked.

To prevent unwanted arousal while competing, the men imbibed freely on
drink containing saltpeter before and throughout the variety of events.

At the opening ceremonial parade, Gedophamee observed the first wave of naked magnificent males marching toward her and she exclaimed: "Oh! Limp pricks!"

Over the next two and a half millenniums that morphed into "Olympics".
