What is some of the most annoying Mormon lingo/phrases you heard as a member? For example: "slippery slopes" I am so sick of hearing this phrase. It seems I have heard it a lot lately not necessarily directed at me though.

Edit: I would like to add in "burning of the bosom" and "warm fuzzies"

"We missed you."

" She is a sweet spirit", ( a nice way of saying she is lacking in the "looks" department. It comes off sarcastic -saccerine ). Why not just say she is homely and be done with it without the faux -religious overtones.

Yikes...I once had a girl tell me I have such a "sweet spirit." We weren't friends anyways, but now I know I just wasn't competition to her I guess :)

A couple more:
"The more you pray the hotter your future spouse becomes"

"Modest is hottest"

Anything with the words "moisture" or "even".

I swear to Lucifer those words are worse than nails on a chalkboard

Even, Jesus The Christ.

"Tomorrow is our last chance to do our home teaching!"

"I'm pretty sure they had to get married; that's why it's at the chapel."

"She couldn't have been wearing her garment under THAT outfit!"

"I'll gladly take a charging foul to put Bro. Maxwell on his fat ass."

"You did what with the Bishop's daughter?"

"I have a problem with masturbation, Bishop..."

I know this is a quote, but I dislike it all the same.


"Doubt your doubts before you doubt your faith"


When that was first said it seemed like everyone was posting it on their facebook pages. It drove me nuts. How can people think that way.

Any sentence with the word LOVE in it.

A close second is a sentence using the words Heavenly Father.


Both are barf inducing. Especially if done in the relief society or GA voice. GAG!

They trash talk someone & after they're done they end it "bless his heart" like that makes their negativity towards the person okay.

LOL... that happens a lot in the South, too.

When they say "in the name of my son, jesus christ, amen"
*facepalm*

Anything referring to the lamest politics or pop culture.

"Kicking against the pricks."

"They can leave the church but can't leave it alone."

"Refiner's fire."

"you'll know why when you get to heaven"

"sometimes the answer is 'no.'"

"I asked the spirit/the spirit told me..."

"I know [...] is true."

Hope we didn't offend you.

The D & C. It's a gynecological procedure I had following a miscarriage.

"God led me here. I am God's instrument. I'll go where you want me to go, Dear Lord. It was meant to be. I was impressed to do something...."

My answer is that God doesn't move us around like chess pieces.

"We knelt down and prayed as a family, and right after that, we found our lost hamster/lost dog." Both are real testimonies that two families told!

"God will withdraw His blessings from you." My answer, "No one has the authority to tell God what to do."
