(Pronounced: chee neh las) The Filipino version of la chancla used by Filipino moms to threaten their child and beats the shit out of their children if they show signs of misbehaviour, or some shit. It usually gives little children PTSD.

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.
