Last night, Twitter user @irishspy created the hashtag #DemocratOlympicEvents with the following innocuous tweet:
#DemocratOlympicEvents Race Card speed-play #tcot #p2

By morning, the hashtag was one of the top trending topics on Twitter, surprising even @irishspy himself:

We’re certainly glad to have #DemocratOlympicEvents around, as it is chock full of snark. In fact, if snarky hashtags were an Olympic sport, this one would bring home the gold for sure.
Here are some of the best tweets from #DemocratOlympicEvents:
