Greek history- now you know
2500 years ago a slave call girl from Sardinia named Gedophamee (pronounced Get-offa'-me) was attending the first athletic festival in Greece.

This festival had no name at that time. In those days the athletes performed naked and to prevent unwanted arousal while competing, the men imbibed freely on a drink containing saltpeter.

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

Over the next two and a half millennium that expression morphed into the word “Olympics.”

So Now you know....Don't bother to thank me….I enjoy learning about and discussing history.

I suggest locking your doors. The people with pitchforks and torches will be heading your way shortly.
