Will someone explain the concept of "sinnier"?

I have spent a long time in R&S, long enough to imagine where it might have come from....but does anyone know the specifics? The word hits my funny bone for some reason.....

Update:

Oh, I know what you're thinking, but I was suspended. I've really been here since may, not october.

    People make up words all the time and they end up getting accepted into our language. Some of them even wind up in our dictionaries. Stephen Colbert from The Colbert Report coined the completely made up word "truthiness" and it was Websters word of the year and got put into their dictionary.

    I would say the concept of sinnier is one who sins more than another.

    I have never heard the word sinnier before. However, a sinner is someone who transgresses the law of God.

    Sinning more than.

    As in Mary is sinnier than Jane. But Claire is the sinniest of those girls.

    It is not a word. I believe the person who used the word meant "more sinful."

    Sounds like a typo of "sinner."

    Of course, it could be something like skinnier, or simmer, or shimmy...er.

    Or it could mean "more sinny," as many have said before me,

    I've met quite a few phallacies in my day. Not one was logical.

    A sinnier and a blasphemier are the same.
