A protestant faith. Major tenants of their beliefs consist of pacifism, believer's baptism, and a penchant towards social justice and equality. Loose translation; the guys cry alot and are copious pussy eaters, and the girls are dikey, earthy and typically progressive. Damn good people. Fascinated with lame board games and all around do gooding. Not to be confused with their terrorist cousins the Amish.

A Mennonite Necklace is the accumulation of perspiration that gathers around the collar of a t-shirt. It is important to note that a proper Mennonite Necklace is distinguished by the fact that the shirt has no other sweat stains apart from the collar area.
