“I don’t smoke, and I don’t chew, and I don’t go with girls who do.” If you chanted this as a teenager, then odds are you were a Baptist or a fundamentalist (or both!).
With Thanksgiving around the corner, the weather will soon be chilly (if it isn’t already in your part of the country). It’s the perfect season to think about God’s “frozen chosen.”
I’m starting to think that all the most memorable Christianese expressions either rhyme (like sloppy agape below or happy clappy) or they use alliteration like greasy grace or no Bible, no breakfast.
Happy-clappy is a neat word. Like another Christianese phrase fundy-dundy, the term happy-clappy is phonetically reduplicative, like other words you may know such as easy-peasy, handy-dandy, namby-pamby, and mimsy-wimsy.
