"Jesus freak" is an English slang term that emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s, originally associated with young, countercultural Christians who were highly devoted to Jesus and evangelical practices. The term combines "Jesus" with "freak" to suggest obsessive, unconventional, or extreme enthusiasm for Christianity. It describes someone perceived as excessively or openly pious, often showing off their faith. The term is used in informal speech, media, and historical accounts of the Jesus movement. Its tone can be mildly derogatory or teasing, though some Christians have reclaimed it positively within evangelical subcultures.
