The Vancouver 2010 Olympic games have been going strong for 10 incredible days. If you have had a chance to take part in the festivities or are going to you can use these two terms when describing your experience.
Olympic-ing: Taking part in anything that has to do with the Olympic games. Examples are watching an Olympic event (live or on TV), visiting a pavilion or a national house, going to The Bay, etc. I have spent the last 10 days Olympic-ing and need a day to rest and recover.
Olympicising: Any form of physical activity that has been inspired by the Olympic games. Examples are walking all over Vancouver, standing in a line with perfect posture, and pretending to perform like an Olympic athlete after seeing your country win a medal. I have been Olympicising like Christine Nesbitt and my legs are killing me, I don’t know if my body can handle another Canadian Speed Skating medal.
There is one week left of events, festivals, and celebrations and I am looking forward to doing more Olympic-ing and Olympicising (especially if it is encouraged by Canadians winning gold medals!).
