Some churchy ones:

Planting = funeral. Used in general but never to refer to a specific individual's service, and not meant in disrespect or humor. Sometimes indicates that there will be a graveside service (there isn't always one), and not only a church or funeral home service.

Get ashy (or Get Ashed) = planning to attend (or attended/led) the Ahs Wednesday service

Jesus Junk = The cheap, trashy knickknacks, wall art, and other stuff pastors tend to receive great amounts of, around gift-giving time, that just happen to have some religious picture or text. Like the 10-commandments clock one friend of ours has that is so baly made it makes you long for that singing bass fish instead. Piles up in church office drawers, thrift shops, etc. I don't mean inexpensive mementoes-- I mean stuff you'd see Leno hold up in the Dollar Store segment of bizarrely-conceived and poorly-made weird things, but with Jesus on 'em. Must say I've never gotten any from Mudcatters! (But :~) I think SINSULL probably has.)

Oh yes, I'm suffering = this food I'm eating is purty damn good and prolly bad for me-- heard at many parish suppers from anyone present

Gomorrahfied = like being mortified, but in a more Biblically-accurate sense related to the offense or consequences
