Colloquialism

Originally this section was going to be much larger than it currently is. However, with the project's due date nearing I must publish this with the contributions in-hand. I hope that his, more than any other section of this project, will grow and evolve beyond what it is now. The following is a list of words/phrases used by tribes/families that are Heathen related.

bumble (n.) “mixing blot and sumbl”, often a pejorative term used from one group toward the ritual practice of another, implying a failure to understand or appreciate proper ritual methods. – Submitted by Phyllis Steinhauser (unnamed tribe/kindred), via e-mail, March 31, 2011.

Chuck Harter (n.) “the ancestor of us all.” A very bad joke at the Whitewolf Midsummer Celebration, 2010. --Submitted by Thomas McGuire (Whitewolf), via e-mail, April 7, 2011.

hammer time (n.) “preparing for a blot or sumbl”, implying the use of the hammer rite as an act of hallowing, blended into a very cheesy joke involving the 1980s hip-hop star, M.C. Hammer. --Submitted by Thomas McGuire (Whitewolf), via e-mail, April 7, 2011.
