A professor who is regarded as an intellectual in his/her respective field for his/her theoretical applications to various cultural/political issues. While the professor can state his/her argument with great confidence and linguistic ability, he/she can't seem to take a position, much less differentiate between right or wrong, left or right, pro or con, black or white; turning everything into grey-matter. This phenomenon can be attributed to covering his/her own ass, academically speaking.

church hurt is where you experience a degree of distance, pain, or judgement from your church community. Essentially, you are just unable to “find your place”. This is prevalent in the Christian community, but can be extended to other religions.
