Mormon Jargon
Many of the gentile persuasion in the Salt Lake City area have taken to calling members of "the" church "Mo's". OK, the truth is that being called a Mo isn't so bad. While it's not exactly a term of endearment, Mo beats some of the other things I've been called--lots of them by fellow Mo's. To ease the tension between Mos and gentiles, I've come up with a brief Mo Lexicon.
Practice these terms, learn to be comfortable with your Moism.

NO MO - Non-Mormon
NO MO' MO - Ex-Mormon
