The act of shaking up a carbonated drink and shooting the stream in a race-like champagne bottle podium party celebration.
I can’t wait to podium party the girls at the bar thought
When you get on stage and forget the names of the people in the audience
I looked at the audience and immediately podium amnesia was on me
Based on the program of the same name, launched by the Canadian government ahead of the Vancouver Olympics. The goal was to be the top medal winning team and place in the top 3 in the Paralympics.
The program was a failure in any measurable way and was blamed in part for the death of Georgian Luger, Nodar Kumaritashvili.
As a result, the term is now an ironic, dismissive way to say "You suck." It is best used on a canadian, who will know the origin and the stigma it carries. Fricken Canadians.
American Girl: "So I was watching this movie with Ryan Reynolds yesterday..."
Canadian Male beaks in "Ryan Reynolds is Canadian!"
American Girl (waves hand): "Yeah, you guys really own the podium. Anyways, that movie sucked."

something that’s pretty awesome. It’s not the best thing you’ve ever seen but its pretty awesome, you might categorize it in the top three.
“Hey man, I brought you another beer”
“fuck thats podium, thanks”
Adjective: Used to describe an act of generosity or going above or beyond expectations.
Doing something great, kind, or generous, without expectation of reward or gratitude.
Like your boy did something pretty sick; he comes back to the stadium with an extra beer for you because he knew yours was already getting empty and it's not the best thing you've ever seen, but it's definitely a top three good a** move, so you go "That's podium".
"Thanks for bringing me another beer! That's podium!"
Doing something nice for someone else. Not the best thing ever but still pretty cool aka top 3.
Man 1: “Hey, when I went to the bar I saw you were nearly out of beer so got you another one.”
Man 2: “Ayy thanks, that’s podium.”
