[Vision2020] kirkers and queening

[keely emerinemix]

Steven,

Welcome aboard!  "Kirkers" is a nickname for those who attend Christ Church 
in Moscow.  CC is very into their Celtic/Anglo/Brave Men of Chest thing, and 
"Kirk" is Scottish for "Church."

And for Dale -- I believe that "queening" comes from the behavior often 
exhibited by female cats, especially those who are pregnant or lactating, 
who are called "queens" by veterinarians.  The behavior described is one of 
wailing, snarling, shrill and often petty irritability, such as that shown 
by a postpartum feline who resents that you want to use the shower stall in 
which she's just given birth.

The preternaturally snotty Christopher Witmer's guess that it involves 
objections voiced by male homosexuals is as offensive as the tone of his 
post on Dale Courtney's blog regarding the definition of "queening."   What 
a witty man of chest that Mr. Witmer is . . .

Hope that helps.

I'm new here, so forgive my ignorance, but what is a kirker?
