I learned a new word today.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/criterium

Definition of criterium : a bicycle race of a specified number of laps on a closed course over public roads closed to normal traffic.
Examples of criterium in a Sentence Recent Examples on the Web
The Olympic silver medalist was also fourth in the road race and sixth in the criterium.

Although, this is probably the first and last time I use it.

Edit: /s/Comatoast must have a next-level spell check dictionary.

fuck that's funny. I thought maybe criterium was the singlular of criteria, but, til.

I'm just dumb. I honest to god thought that was the word form that I was looking for, oops.

Not at all.

It's awesome.

I'm trying to think of a way to shoehorn this incredibly specific word into a future conversation.

I've thrown down the gauntlet.
A try-hard-by-fire quest.

I'm probably going to burn myself.

Criteria pluralized?

Criteria is plural.

Criterion is singular.

Likely a misspelling of 'criterion'...as Get Smart show used to say:
