Holy Roller

Term used to describe a person or persons that claims to be a Christian and also tends to think they are the ultimate authority , and ALWAYS right, regarding all things God,Church and the Bible. "Holy Rollers" love talking about and judging other people and then acting like they are best friends when they see the person(s). Many times this is because said "Holy Roller" isn't the perfect Christian they claim to be and talking about other's will keep the focus OFF of them and their hypocrisy.
Look Mom, here comes Amy. She was a wild one in High School, but acts like a Holy Roller these days.

Uggh, that church is full of Holy Rollers. I see them drinking at the bar on Friday, and judging people that drink on Monday.

Holy Roller

A member of a church service audience whose enthusiasm is anything but graceful or gracious. Their behavior is considered out-of-bounds and over-the-top; behavior similar to a person having a manic episode.
From the book, The Color of Water, James McBride describes one particular person in the pews of a church service, "They were mostly women, big mamas whom I knew and loved, but when the good Lord climbed into their bones and lifted them up toward Sweet Liberty, kind, gentle women (holly rollers) who mussed my hair and kissed me on the cheek and gave me dimes would burst out of their seats like Pitssburgh Steeler linebackers. "Oh yessss!" they'd cry."

For those who know a little about basketball, it's embarrassing when a defender falls for a fake. They jump needlessly, and give a wide open lane or shot to the opposing offense.

"Bubba, was that your mom last Sunday in the aisle?"
"Yeah, she can be some what of a holy roller."
