My mother won't use the "a" word. She's used everything from "ex-Catholic" to "fallen Catholic", and I always respond with "She means atheist".
At which point she cringes, especially when introducing me to church friends.
And she hates it that I won't call her priest, "Father". I just call him Bill, since I already have a perfectly good and functioning father.
Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni:
"You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???"
