Members of the Heaven’s Gate religious group developed their own peculiar terminology, including referring to flatulence as “poofoofus”. Info from former Heaven’s Gate member ‘sawyer’: Examples of new terms that accumulated over the years: Instead of Kingdom of God or Kingdom of Heaven, it was “THE EVOLUTIONARY LEVEL ABOVE HUMAN” or “NEXT LEVEL,” REDEFINED “EVOLUTION” that had nothing to do with Darwin’s usage, saying instead that the Next Level was a next step up the evolutionary ladder from the Human Evolutionary Kingdom which was above the Animal Kingdom which was above the Plant Kingdom which was above the Mineral Kingdom… A new member of the Next Level was a “YOUNGER MEMBER.” They called reproductive organs, “PLUMBING.” Clouds of light, chariots of fire, whirlwinds were “SPACECRAFTS.” A woman’s bra they called a “SLINGSHOT.” A fart was a “POOFOOFUS” (that we needed to only release in the “BATH CHAMBER.” We rested in the “REST CHAMBER.” They talked about the changeover recorded as happening as a “twinkling of an eye” as a “METAMORPHOSIS” compared to that of the Caterpillar to a Butterfly. We did not eat, we “CONSUMED” and it wasn’t food, it was “FUEL.” The brain was a “COMPUTER.” Meals were “EXPERIMENTS.” A recipe was a “FORMULA.” The houses we lived in were “CRAFTS” as if they were spacecrafts, but they did nothing to make anything look that way. A job was an “OUT OF CRAFT TASK.” The kitchen was the “Nutri Lab.” The laundry was the “Fiber Lab.” The workshop was the “IMPRO LAB,” impro standing for Improvements. The administrative team worked in “COM CENTER,” where “com” stood for “communications.” They said they came from “Headquarters” in deep space. A toilet was a “COMMODE.” Feces was “SOLID WASTE” and urine, “LIQUID WASTE.” The auto repair shop and the hospital were referred to as the “HORSE-PISTOL” as both our automobiles and VEHICLES were also considered to function and serve us as horses can be taught/trained to.
