IDOLATER, n. One who professes a religion which we do not believe, with a symbolism different from our own. A person who thinks more of an image on a pedastol than of an image on a coin.
2007 Update: A heretic who genuflects with the wrong side toward our feet.

ReplyDeleteIdolator: a viewer of American idol.
ReplyDelete(goldennib: I was going to say that too!)
Well all the good comments have been done. Not that I had thought of them, but they've been done. Except for those that will be done later. I idolate folks who can think of good stuff.
ReplyDeleteHeck, I thought an idolater was a thingie in the care.
All I can think of is the They Might Be Giants song:
ReplyDelete"The statue got me high..."
Idolater: one who mistakes charm/charisma/celebrity for character and/or "connection". [see also: stalker -- "Well, yes, the house was locked, but I was just certain (insert famous person's name here) meant to leave a key, and, yes, in retrospect I suppose it was wrong to keep (him/her) tied to that bedpost for 4 months, but I only did it because I'm (his/her) biggest fan."]
ReplyDeleteHeck, I thought an idolater was a thingie in the CAR. CAR! *sigh* I also idolize those who can TYPE.
ReplyDeleteSo I may be an idolatress myself. I'm definitely a heathen and an infidel, but not a pagan. So, there's hope, right?
ihfvzyw: I hate fuzzy word verifiers that don't let me comment, and I never know what it was I did wrong. Okay. I feel better now.
Idolater: one who knows the goodness of things.
ReplyDeleteIDOLATOR, n. A participant in the most meaningful elections in American history. Judging from the number of votes cast, anyway. And all to put a graying white guy on a pedastal.

TLP...something to do with CARS!!!! or worshiping a bald girl...and investment bankers.
See TLP...I even changed the word we are defining ;)
ReplyDeleteIDOLATER....I have no idea what Idolatior means.....perhaps Pedantic.
Minka, that was a gracious speech and a brilliant definition. Have another "Willie."
ReplyDeleteGoldennib, you should have been first with that definition.
Indie, a worshipper of mammon and womammon, then?
TLP, you mean the thing you plug the DVD player into on long drives?
Mutha, you're over my head.
Puppybrose, you mean the misunderstood googler?
Al, that'll cost you three Ave Benjamins.
I'm not sure TLP. Any grapevines around your brow?
So, Mule, someone who finds love in scandal?
Amoeba, "the pedantic amoeba speaks" is an understatement worthy of a statue.
Quilly, someone compensating for something?
Mo'a, let's say someone who minds spelling.
IDOLATER, n. A person who thinks more of an image on a coin than of other people.
ReplyDeleteI liked yours Quilly.
When they genuflect away from you, then you do it doggy fashion.
ReplyDeletea4g, no one is as above it all as the man with the remote.
ReplyDeleteMorgan, isn't that most of us?
Lula, long time no see. Genuflect away sounds like you poisoned them.
The heretic who later became an idol.
ReplyDeletePerhaps Elvis?
I keep seeing gold covered chocolate here, now that is something worth genuflecting for.
busy now, idolater.
ReplyDeleteJust so you know, immaculate truffles are divine, and even dusty truffles are still slightly angelic.

ReplyDeleteWell done on that definition, Brian.
Puppybrose, you were already late with that joke.

Mutha, it's actually easy if you stop groveling in the dirt.
Terry, bow towards Mecca.
Poobah, someone had to do it.
