I’ve checked 3 dictionaries and can’t find the definition to this term (“Preterist”). Anyone know?
“Are you now or have you ever been a member of a communist dishwashing organization?”
Frank Burns, MAS*H
From the Oxford English Dictionary:
Preterist 1: One whose chief interest is in the past.
2: One who holds that the prophecies of the Apocolypse have been already fulfilled.

Hey, thanks, Tris. It’s hard to believe that American Heritage and Merriam-Webster didn’t have this term defined in them.
Ya could’ve asked the left behind members!
Yes, if anyone would know, it would be them.
Hmmm … and here I thought it was somebody who was a terrorist before it became fashionable.

“Playin’ solitaire 'til dawn
With a deck of fifty-one.”
Gee, I’d just have thought it was anyone in favor of the preterite tense.
