Any "seeker sensitive" church that seeks to draw in new members by focusing more on entertainment of the members, rather than transforming their lives. Similar to megachurch but much more derogratory, the McChurch features un-challenging milktoast theology for the masses, a music team that resembles a corporate band more than a committed team of talented church members, and sanitized "christian" versions of cafe's, fitness centers, and food courts so as to further line the church's pockets and insulate the members from the outside world. Such churches generally cater to caucasian, middle class, suburban families who are able to drive for miles to the nearly rural locations of these 4 acre campuses.
Geez, have you been to that new McChurch up on freeway yet? I've never seen more FUV's and PT Cruisers since that last Jimmy Buffett concert.

A prefix placed in front of a noun to connote an inherent attribute of either malaise, homogenization, gratuitous commercialism, mediocrity, or any combination thereof. In other words, add Mc to any noun to give it a tincture of everything the McDonalds empire has given to (or taken away from) the landscape of American culture.

1.) Used to describe a servile, compliant, submissive, spineless wife who happily does her husband's bidding and serves his every whim dutifully.
2.) Can also be used to describe a wife who is cookie-cutter & bland in appearance and behavior. Subscribes to a popular look and dares not deviate from that look.
This term is borrowed from the fictional suburb of Stepford, Connecticut in Ira Levin's 1972 novel, The Stepford Wives, later made into movies (in 1975 and 2004). In the story, men of this seemingly ideal town have replaced their wives with attractive robotic dolls devoid of emotion or thought.

1.) She's such a stepford wife, I've seen her greet her husband at the door after work with a beer and a kiss 4 days in a row!
2.) I just got back from the pta meeting, I've never seen so many stepford wives.
2b.) The SNL skit "Mom Jeans" features women dressed to earn the SW distinction.

To take anything of Mexican culture (food, music, art, etc.), and water it down to appeal to a caucasian American customer base.
Why must this brand of picante sauce have to gringify their formula beyond recognition? A salad would be tastier.
This mariachi group is so gringified, even blue hair's are buying their CD's.
And last but not least, "Nachos, Flanders style!" (cucumbers with cottage cheese)

A mentholyptus cough drop left in one's pants pocket after having gone through the wash. Lintolipti is an acceptable plural usage in most cases.
Man I hadn't washed these pants since I had that monster cold, now I got all this lintolipti in my pockets.

Any musak heard in a laundromat in the 1970's. Experience is perfected by the presence of avacado green dryers, burnt umber washing machines, wallpaper with orange asterisks, contact paper on the countertops festooned with olive drab polka-dotted mushrooms, and Family Circle magazines in the seating area.
