I have never heard that; in fact, I am not aware of any Mormon slang.?

What other examples do you have?

HAHA! Um some other ones I remember are...

R.M. for returned missionary

G's or Garmies for garments

Peter priesthood for a "goodie goodie two shoes boy"

molly mormon for a "goodie goodie two shoes girl"

Misshalfway elightened us on this forum to the "bish" for the bishop

Never hear it used in 'real life'; my only awareness of its usage, is on forums, as a means of short-hand.

That one I have heard a couple of times. (Actually heard that one in Utah)

Quote:

NEVER have I heard that, except here.

Maybe these are just shortcuts while writing on a forum? Do people really use bish and Garmies in actual face-to-face conversation?

Maybe it's just one of those things we "Utards" do. I have heard all of these with the exception of "relief-ee" (that's kinda cute). The only one i haven't heard in face-to-face conversation is "G's" or "garmies." The only time i heard those was when a female seminary teacher told me those were completely inappropriate slang words for garments and should not be used.

I think maybe you are right...your own language.
