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.
