Emerging Words
Jun 26th, 2008 by John
It’s that time again! Time to offer some of my new terms for the ever emerging USAmerican theology.
sipphony–the sound of people sipping in unison their tiny cups of Communion juice
megalobiblia–the compulsive need to carry a really BIG Bible
proleperous–Jesus’ tendency to heal lepers
loafquacious–feeding thousands of people with five loaves of bread
golfertory–a foursome made up of pastors
dazzledermatitus–when a human face shines like lightning
treeophany–climbing a tree to see Jesus
sermocide–dying as Paul preaches way too long (Acts 20:9)
theofanny–Moses seeing the “backside” of God
How about you? Do you have any new terms for us?

Enjoyable
Post Blackbird Song,
C’mon, give it a try. Offer us a new term.
ribawsum – the helpmate God gave men
ribrusin – what men get from their ribawsums when the pastor makes a good point
goodribben – what men give to their ribawsums when the ribawsums totally missed the point
ribellion – when the goodribben is misunderstood by the ribawsum
ribpentence – what good men do when their goodribben is misunderstood by their ribawsums
ribiculous – how the whole thing got blown out of proportion to begin with
Ken,
Too funny. You seem to have a ribdiculous sense of humor!
This is great!
I need a good laugh this afternoon.
Thanks John for informing us of these new terms.
I don’t think I can. I hate words.
[...] A pastor who knows his words. Which one was your favorite? [...]
[...] Frye lists some Emerging Words, like “sipphony–the sound of people sipping in unison their tiny cups of Communion [...]
just letting you know I have grabbed the last paragraph and linked here.
sipphony alternative meaning:
the synchronized sound of people drinking their coffee while listening to the sermon. (guess it depends on the context of the church)
