Before the "Mormon" church adjusted, in 2019, to asserting the use of its original name, many people of the "gentile" persuasion had taken to calling members of the church "Mo's." Well, the truth is that being called a Mo still isn't so bad. While it's not exactly a term of endearment, Mo beats some of the other things we've been called. But to ease the tension between "Mo's" and "Gentiles," and to help us be more comfortable with our imposed "Mo-ness," here is a brief Mo Lexicon.

MO SEY = LDS sense of time. MO NOGOMY = LDS marriage practices. MO TIF = Two or more Mormons arguing MO LDIE = Older LDS member MO MO = Mormon from Missouri At one time, Mo-mania struck a college Institute's student e-mail list, and there were brief exchanges of what were called "Mo ses." Here are a few of those creations: MO SIAH = Italian member's expression of dismay MO DEL = Where the Mormon farmer hangs out MO DERN = A western LDS cuss word - softer than "fetch" MO DIFY = To be in open rebellion MO DULATE = How outsiders refer to "Mormon Standard Time" MO HAWK = Political faction opposed to the MO DOVES MO CCASIN = Drinking coffee MO NARCH = A Mormon DEA Agent MO NOPHOBIA = Why Mormons have so many kids MO NOTONY = Some ward choirs MO REOVER = One's pet dog.
