accentism

Similar to racism or sexism, it is discriminating based on someone having an accent, usually a particular accent.

I realized I had a problem with accentism when I immediately assumed the person was unintelligent upon hearing their southern drawl.

seventh day adventist

A Protestant Christian denomination whose followers, upon Bible proof, observe Saturday (the seventh day) as the day of worship. Adventists worship from Friday's sunset to Saturday's sunset - a period of time called "the Sabbath day."

Followers of this belief...

- are generally against abortion.
- refrain from eating pork, shellfish, and other animals that the Bible tells are "unclean"; many people of this faith are vegetarians.
- are against gay marriage.
- are opposed to any piercings and tatoos.
- dress modestly and without adornments (i.e. jewelry, make up, extravagant hairstyles).

Being a Seventh day Adventist is really awesome - it fulfills my spiritual needs more than any other religion could.

Accentia

The propensity to involuntarily adopt the accent and/or mannerisms of a particular regional dialect after direct exposure to native inhabitant(s).

Chris’s accentia just flared up following his recent visit to the Fort Worth rodeo.

accentuate

To make supple body parts more noticeable.
I.e. Breasts, cock size, hips, ass.

I like how that hottie accentuates her breasts to make them look so bouncy and fun in her slim lace tank top.

seventh-day adventist church

A Protestant denomination that emerged in the 1850s and early 1860s from the movement led by Baptist evangelist William Miller that began modern focus on the return of Christ. Miller used exegesis of apocalyptic passages in the Bible books of Daniel and Revelation to make predictions that Jesus Christ would return to earth in 1843 or 1844. When the last and most specific prediction failed on October 22, 1844, the widespread interest in his ideas collapsed. A small group made up mostly of young adults began a series of Bible-study retreats where they systematically re-studied all aspects of Christian faith to get beyond the various traditions that had been passed down over the centuries and get back to the authentic, original Christian basics. This resulted in the slow development of the Adventist denomination over a period of more than a decade.

By 2006, membership has grown to more than one million in North America, with some 20 million adherents worldwide. Most Adventist members live in small towns and rural areas despite the fact that in the 1880s through 1905, the Church operate a network of city missions. Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, dean of a medical school sponsored by the Church in Battle Creek, Michigan, worked closely with Jane Addams and the settlement house movement in Chicago during this time, operating free clinics, homeless shelters and nutrition programs staffed by medical students and nursing students from the American Medical Missionary College. After 1906, when Kellogg split with the Church, the medical college was re-established in southern California and became what is today Loma Linda University.

The majority of Adventist Church members in urban congregations today are ethnic minorities. A large percentage are African Americans, with other significant portions among immigrants from the Caribbean and Latin America, Korea and the Philippines. Adventist Community Services, the faith-based charity sponsored by the Church, has an Inner City Program that funds community action projects in urban communities. A number of urban ministry organizations have been started by Adventists in the last decade: Adventist Metro Ministries in New York City, Adventist Community Development Services in Newark (NJ), Adventist Humanitarian Resource Center in Philadelphia, Adventist Community Services of Baltimore, Adventist Community Services of Greater Washington, Adventist Community Services of Greater Pittsburgh, etc. The Center for Metropolitan Ministry at Columbia Union College in Takoma Park, Maryland, serves as a research, training and resource center for Adventist and other Christian urban ministries.

The Seventh-day Adventist Church sponsors many community health projects.

Accentuate

1. To make something more noticable or emphasize it.

2. To mark or pronounce with an accent.

1. Shawty wore Apple Bottom jeans and boots with the fur. The whole club was looking at her because the jeans accentuated her big booty.

2. Heating spices accentuates their natural flavors.
