Most Over Used Fundie Words or Phrases

[infooverload]

I was thinking recently about the lack of vocabulary among the fundies we follow. Words and phrases are repeated constantly. The ones which come to the top of my mind are: precious, blessing, fellowship and laid it on my heart. With the constant use of the same words it seems as though no one worries about them loosing meaning or become automated responses with no thoughts factoring into their speach.

[FreeJosie]

"Convicted" is a big one.

[Jana814]

The word I hate the most in Fundie language is Fellowship. Like the orgional poster said!

[GeoBQn]

Ministry (when referring to things like a family baking cookies for friends, or a wife having sex with her husband when she doesn't really want to)

Season of life (Apparently anything from menopause to a really busy several weeks)

Love on (I'm always loving on my kids!)

A season can be as little as a few hours.

"Purposed". Is this an actual word?

[IceTwinkie]

Three that I would be glad to never hear again:

Have a blessed day

A spirit of heaviness

Guard(ing) your heart

[Coldest Winter]

Keep(ing) sweet

Burdened by [insert orphans, random country, today's "wild youth" etc]

Set apart [from this ebil ebil world]

[Mary C Doates]

"Love offering". Sounds a little pervy, like something the Naked Roast Sitter would serve up for dinner (sorry).

[Sobeknofret]

"purposed" makes me nuts :pull-hair:

"set-apart" makes me think that they've missed the entire point of the Gospels

Love on (I'm always loving on my kids!)

I also hate "love on," but I hear "worldly" folks using it too.

I dislike "has a heart for." I always picture the fundies having a huge heart collection, with one heart being "for" ministry, one for orphans, etc..

[darkplumaged]

Convicting: Describes books, movies, and blog posts that reinforce a fundie's existing beliefs.

Encouraging: Very similar to "convicting," with an emotional component.

Encouragement: A person whose beliefs and level of fanaticism are in line with one's own and who seems to be more godly, organized, or talented, or who is in a different (read: better) season of life.

[Ampak]

"Servants heart"

"Dynamic marriage"

Any gratuitous use of the following:

"sweet"

"precious"

"speshul"

"love"

For some reason, many of them have a thing about spelling "honey" as "hunney," but Perry and Kim C. are by far the worst.

Yes, yes... You're heterosexual. We're painfully aware of that.
