a mythical place where memories, events, relationships and experiences get stuck

usually "stuck in your craw" or "stuck in my craw" refers to the phenomenon as it is experienced by males.

The phenomenon frequently causes grudges.

Hey man, what's John got stuck in his craw now?

I'm not sure, but I think it's about that promotion he didn't get. He's still mad at his supervisor.

boorgie

abreviated use of the French word "bourgeoisie" meaning the economic upper class, in communist theory, the social group opposed to the working class in the class struggle

Although originally a French word, bourgeoisie is commonly used in English because English speakers have not figured out how to place a negative conotation on upper class without using a word from another language.

A character in "Six Feet Under" used the term boorgie in this week's episode to indicate her disgust at other people who pursue money and power.

"Taking a promotion now is boorgie that I couldn't live with myself next week. But, I sure would enjoy the money."
