kumbayah 

Kumbayah is a uniquely African-American contribution to American English.

Kumbayah is a Gullah pronunciation of the phrase "Come by here" (or "come by yah", 'yah' being a West African form of 'here'.)

This word has been turned into an ironic term by overusage and misinterpretation by the mainstream culture. However, it's actually a call to God to visit the singer. "Kumbayah my lord" means 'come by here, my lord".

"Kumbayah my lord"
"Let's all join hands and sing Kumbayah."

kumbaya 

blandly pious and naively optimistic

At the risk of sounding too kumbaya, I felt as if I had finally come home.

Kumbaya moment 

when management tries to create camaraderie amongst employees through a group activity, usually involving food and or drink.

I would really like to skip out on that lunch meeting, but I know the boss is looking forward to that kumbaya moment. I really hope we don't have to sing.

kumbayahoo

A mindless sheep of a person who is always trying to change or challenge people who are fun free thinkers.

I can't believe those kumbayahoos protested at the strip club.

Kumbaya Jerk 

The act of standing in a circle with a number of other fellow jerkers, each tenderly stimulating the penis of the gentleman to their right while singing as many verses of kumbaya as possible before ejaculating about three teaspoons of peace and love all over the floor. At this point, it's useful to have a shamwow on hand to clean up.

Overall, this is just a great way to spice up those weekly spiritual retreats that are in danger of becoming "too vanilla" (i.e. spiritually frustrating).

Whilst the left hand is free, feel free to express yourself. Maybe tickle an asshole or two, or perhaps you could fondle someone's scrotum. Don't be shy, really explore yourselves and each other, and don't forget to have fun.

"Hey guys, I need my consciousness raised, along with something else - let's do a kumbaya jerk!"

kumbaya moment 

a naive feeling that all is good; a feeling that utopia has come down and all will be fine

When Obama signed the health care bill, a kumbaya moment,enveloped the democrats, and their eyes shined like deer in headlights.
