About this list

Scientologists have their own code words and slang. Documentaries about Scientology may have introduced you to some of their lingo, even if you've never visited the Church's Information Center in Hollywood, CA. These terms will help you understand the religion better, whether you're curious about joining or just want to learn more Scientology slang. You might become 'raw meat' in no time - a term that's positive, depending on who you ask.
