presbylutheranism

full name: the western branch of American reform Presbylutheranism. The protestant denomination which the Simpsons as well as most other Springfieldianites belong to. The term is employed by Catholics to poke fun at the tendency of protestant denominations to multiply exponentially, and to highlight these denominations' homogeneity compared to the ancient tradition of the Apostolic Churches both Western and Eastern.

I attend St. Basil's, but all my friends are protestant... I don't know what denomination, presbylutheranism, I guess, they all look the same to me.

melolatry

An overzealous customer loyalty to Apple or their products such as the iMac, iPhone, or iPod. from greek melon (apple) and latria (worship) analogous to idolatry. One who engages in melolatry is called a melolator, or iJerk if they are particularly vocal about their distaste for Windows and its users. Not everyone who preferres mac over windows is a melolator, however.

With Apple's slick marketing campaigns and stylish hardware, it's easy to fall into melolatry if you're not careful.

I went to a Korean place last night, and I ordered something that turned out to be dog. Cynophagy seems OK to me, it tasted great with rice and pepper sauce.
