"Now the place was called by them Rameumpton, which being interpreted, is holy stand."
I can just see this scene in my mind. Instead of Alma confronting the Zoramites it would be my mother. Mom would be saying quite emphatically "Get off your high horse! and stop acting like you're better than everyone else."
Or she would have accused them of having a"holier than thou" attitude. She could never tolerate such an attitude which is always critical of others, filled with a sense of moral superiority.
I like how Merriam-Webster dictionary puts it - "having the annoying attitude of people who believe that they are morally better than other people."
So beware if you hear me yelling, "Get off your Rameumpton!" It just seems like the logical phrase for an LDS person to substitute.
