struggle olympics

When people continue to one-up one another in a social setting situation involving a competitive power dynamic when it comes to who has really struggled and who has not, with everyone one-upping then dismissively lording their experience over other people’s heads . Often observed in mommy groups.

"Hun, if you think that's bad, I had to deal with..."
"Oh, yeah? Ha ha ha, that's nothing, just wait until I tell you what I went through..."

(Becky and Brittnee are both known champions in the struggle olympics, who will win?)
