a-word

"(euphemistic) The word alleluia, often pronounced during in Lent since Lent prohibits saying alleluias." Can be found in Web search, not sure about GBooks. Equinox ◑ 06:00, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

Cited, it's pretty common colloquially (and I heard it in person this Sunday). Rewrote the gloss though since as far as I know no church bans saying "alleluia" during Lent: it just isn't used liturgically, and not saying it in general can just be considered a "pious practice". —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 14:31, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

huh, neat. Is h-word attested for hallelujah, too? (I spotted one cite, but no more.) - -sche (discuss) 22:00, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
