Several years ago David Brooks and I published a series of Fun Phrases on our Facebook feeds. I compiled some of my creations in today’s blog.

1. Church member who is the Chief Operating Officer of a company
2. Church member who attends worship Christmas-Easter-Only

Shakehug

Greeting when one person plans to shake hands while the other initiates a hug

The shakehug between the two friends turned into an awkward waltz.

Concludisinterruptis

The inability of preachers to conclude sermons.

Due to chronic concludisinterruptis, the congregation abandoned hope whenever the preacher said, “In conclusion.”

Clumsyglance

After a clumsy accident, glancing around to see if anyone else witnessed the act.

Despite his concussion, Ray first gave a clumsyglance to see if anyone saw him walk into the glass door.

Surf Thumb Syndrome (STS)

Thumb injury caused by chronic channel surfing

STS pain prevented Bubba from simultaneously watching the NASCAR race and bowling tournament.

Digidate

A blind date arranged by an online, matchmaking service.

Rachel’s disappointing digidate turned out to be an un-kissed frog rather than a handsome prince.

Man-cold

Life threatening illness experienced by males accompanied by involuntary moaning, groaning, and complaining.

The husband unwisely compared his man-cold symptoms to his wife’s labor pains. And that’s when the fight started.
