How to get your name in the Stuff Christians Like book.
Want to get a shout out in the Stuff Christians Like book? It’s easy. Write a word definition for the definitive online Stuff Christians Like Dictionary.
The person that writes the most definitions and the person that writes the best definition as decided by readers will get mentioned in the acknowledgements or “ac-awesomements” section of the book.
Here are a few other reasons why I think we should write this dictionary:
1. New readers email me and ask “what is a leg drop” or “what’s the deal with Razzle Dazzle?” I think a dictionary would be a kind thing for us to create.
2. You already write really funny definitions of the words blogger.com makes you put in for the comments verification.
3. A link to your blog will be posted with the definitions you write so it’s a great way to introduce people to your own site and writing style.
4. I think it would be funny.
Does that sound cool to you?
If it does, then pick a phrase from this site and write a definition. Or share a phrase you came up with after reading a post. Often, the ideas you guys have are funnier than the original post and not everyone gets to see them because folks might not read the comments. It doesn’t have to be hilarious or serious or hilserious, just write it how you want to write it. Add your definitions via comments in this post.
Each one should have three parts: The definition, the post it came from and a use in a sentence. And don’t worry if someone already covered the word you wanted to cover. I think duplicate definitions are fine.
Here is an example of one I did:
Middle finger of grammar
Origin:
From the post, “Being afraid to use our gifts.”
Definition:
When you’re tired of putting satan “on notice” and you really want to make him mad, it’s best to lowercase his name which, in some circles, is known as the middle finger of grammar. OK, it’s only known in the SCL circle, but ours is a perfectly fine circle indeed.
Example: “Yeah, I know satan should be capitalized, but what can I say, I’m a big fan of the middle finger of grammar.”
Here are a few phrases to help get you started:
Dumb Thumbs
WOTAM
Sin Synonyms
Facebook friend suggesting Jesus
TOC Shofar Horn
Mangkade
SAKV – Swiss Army Knife Volunteer
Mid Bible Study Interruption
Worship Leader Mini Sermon
Sympathy Scoop
Let’s sumbit comment definitions on this post until June 22nd and then I’ll pull the 10 best definitions together and have everyone vote on which one is the most wicked awesome. Then I will put them all together in one massively awesome dictionary post on this site that gives the credit where the credit is due–you. (Which will happen because people will probably say your definitions are so so def. Get it? “Def” as in definition? See that’s not funny. Now all you have to do if you get writer’s block about trying to be funny with your definition is remember I wrote that.)
So what do you think?
Want a chance to get your name on a bookshelf forever?
Want to get your blog some love on Stuff Christians Like?
Want to be so, so def?
