The Taxonomy of the Roman Rite

The taxonomy conveniently includes acronyms.

1. Vernacular Novus Ordo = Ordinary Form of the Ordinary Form (OFOF)
2. Latin Novus Ordo = Extraordinary/Extinct Form of the Ordinary Form (EFOF)
3. 1962 Mass = Ordinary Form of the Extraordinary Form (OFEF)
4. Pre-1955 Mass = Extraordinary Form of the Extraordinary Form (EFEF)
5. Anglican form of the Ordinary Form (AFOF)
6. (Guitars, goofy sermons, and/or clowns, puppets, vestments in colors of national soccer team, glass chalices, love-ins at Sign of Peace, etc) = The Ordinary Ordinary Form (OOF).

Or we could label #6 as follows:

The Pedestrian Ordinary Ordinary Form (POOF).
