Got Lingo?

One thing that excites me about churches that have a unique identity is that often there is a mysterious, weird, and fascinating set of foreign terms, names, acronyms, anecdotes, and inside jokes.

Seems to me that in the newer renewal-type movements of the past decade or so, each has had their own language. I didn't know what a "fire-tunnel" was several years back, but witnessed something like a spiritual conga-line in which people emerged noticably happier on the outward end. Indeed, the very announcement of the formation of such a tunnel instantly raised the mood of the room from an already positive one into one tangibly charged with expectation and happiness.
