Ways to refer to the Olympics without using the word Olympic

Thursday, 21 January 2010 07:04

We're all being schooled on the appropriate use of the word Olympic. With the games just around the corner the IOC and VancOC are becoming very watchful of who and how the word is being used in the media. We can't even say things like, Olympic sized pool or refer to a politician as an Olympic sized butt. In some cases we can't even use the word Olympic, while talking about the Olympics, if we use it combination with an unqualified sponsor. If we are doing reports on the Olympics we can only use 'that word' if the report is sponsored by an approved corporate sponsor. Top five other ways to refer to the Olympics without using the word Olympic.
#5. The Winter Sports Celebration.
#4. Not the Women's Ski Jump Competition.
#3. The Vancouver / Whistler costly social stain.
#2. The billion dollar tax-funded real-estate gamble.
#1. The Megan Tandy kick butt and take names extravaganza!!
