The Weekly Svithe

2009-02-08

Winston Churchill and the Book of Mormon (a svithe)

.

(by way of our sunday school teacher)

WC: " . . . democracy is the worst form of government except all [the others]."

SV: " . . . the explanation we have been given for the coming forth of the Book of Mormon is the worst possible explanation. Except for all the others."

It's kind of true, isn't it?

What is a svithe?

The word svithe is a portmanteau made by combining seven and tithe--the idea being that one day in the week, this blogger devotes himself to what he hopes is a higher sort of something.

With time, this original meaning has been broadened to something more like this:

A blogpost which is a) spiritually themed, b) on a blog generally not so wholly focused on spiritual things, and c) called a svithe.

Katya's definition:

svithe, n.

blend of seven and tithe

A Sunday blog post of a religious nature.
Any post on a religious (usu. Mormon) theme appearing on a personal blog whose subject matter is generally secular.

svithe, v.

To write or post a svithe.

-svithe, suffix

Combines with a proper name. Indicates a svithe by that person.

Asmond's definition:

A svithe is a post designed for the purport of uplifting the mind beyond the mundane, humorous and into the eternal.
