In Mormon culture there's a general understanding, shared with missionaries during training. Only two percent of missionaries return home and marry the boyfriend or girlfriend they left, while three percent fall in love with one of their same-sex companions. This is mainly shared to put their relationships in perspective and maybe to soften the blow when they almost inevitably find out their SO has moved on sometime in their two years out spreading the gospel.
"Three percenter" is thus used as a perjorative among Mormon missionaries to describe a guy (or gal) who seems a little too happy about spending all their waking hours in the company of their same-sex companion. Given that the Mormon church considers homosexuality a sin, it can be taken or meant as an insult.

I think Elder Johnson and Elder Smith are three percenters. I hope I don't get paired with one of them next!

Get the Three percenters mug." Remember Brian back in high school? When i took my trip up to san fran last month, i actually ran into him; and from what i saw/ heard, now he's Going from Parallel to Perpendicular.
Never thought he'd swing that way, but i guess he does now.

Get the 10 percenters mug.Situation: A man who is madly in love with someone goes to a resteraunt with them. Head over heels in love. He goes to the bathroom where a gorgeous woman tells him she'll give him a BJ, no strings attached. Only one percent of men will turn it down.

Get the perpencoculated mug.Lou is not sure of how many apples are in her fruit basket - but it looks about half-half... therefore the percentish is 50%~ The mathematical symbol looks like % (percent)but using a tild on its diagonal: o~o, shorthand %~ ("Percent-ish").
