Cultural Terminology

Within the church that I am doing my project over there is not a whole lot of specific words that one would need to know. I mean occassionally my preacher will make up a word, like disciple-lessness, but those words remain self explanatory, for example that means without disciples. If you get into the teenager classrooms, there you may need to learn some acronyms or just learn the teen lingo. For example, if they say lol, it means laugh out loud, or nbd stands for no big deal. These are common things that you will hear said when spending time with that ages group, but the lingo becomes second nature and most of the time one would already have an understanding of the words. Our youth group is OHYG, which simply stands for Old Hickory youth group, and our church is OHCOC, which simplys stands for Old Hickory Church of Christ. However, other than those few terms, there is not any certain terminology that I think would need to be told of ahead of time.
