The Mormon to English Post

[mycroftnext]

Here is the long-awaited post where I try and explain these terms that I toss around so freely. I will do my best to have this make sense, but remember, I've grown up with this terminology, so my definitions may make perfect sense to me, and perfect nonsense to everyone else. Please ask if you have a question; I never get offended by honest

a) you're adorable.
b) i still and will probably always read LDS as LSD the first couple times I look at it. There is such cognitive disconnect it's not even funny.
c) this is a handy reference. And i'm surprised how much i remember from all the other times you've explained bits. can you imagine not having to do that anymore? you can just be like "*link* look it up you lazy bum"

a) I'd have to fight you on that, but right now, I'm more curious. How did you get adorable from this? Boring perhaps, but not adorable.
b) In Star Trek IV (the one with the whales) when they all go back in time, Kirk's trying to explain Spock's weirdness, but he messes up and says instead, "He did too much LDS in college." We like that line. But your right, there is a bit of a cognitive disconnect.
c) I'm glad it's serving it's purpose. It will be so liberating to be able to write that Dad's at a high council meeting and not have to explain it! Or that I went to a fireside, and people won't wonder how hard it is to get to my fireplace! Good times.
I'm too much of a lazy bum to figure out the link. That's why I'm thinking of making it sticky just so it's there and handy.

a)don't argue with your wife. you'll end up on the couch. it strikes me that threat means more when the spouses in question actually sleep together, and not in different time zones. Datte. You're making up a post of church jargon. Somehow, with you, it's adorable.
b)Are you sure Kirk messed up when he said that? Maybe he really meant LDS. Granted my data set isn't that large, but...
c)high council is a wonderful term. more things should have high councils.
d)you could save the entry to your favourites. like on your regular browser. those favourites. you know, like your email and stuff. then it would always be a mere click away. Though i can see the appeal of a stickypost.

a) See, that's why I didn't argue; I asked instead. and while you menace well through the interweb, yeah, a little less threatening I find out so many new things about my personality from you. :D
b) Well, I'm sure he messed up what he was trying to say. Whether or not his statement is not true is entirely up in the air. Doing a lot of LDS in college has been known to cause much peculiarness. But peculiarness on the level of Spock? You be the judge. I'm in no position to tell.
c) It is a great term. What's even cooler is that Dad's a high counselor, which makes me think of Galactic Senates and stuff.
d) Ooooh, now there's a thought. Or sticky. I like sticky.
