shoot the albatross 

V.
to bring bad luck by accident/circumstance; to jinx.

Taken from "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner", a narrative poem in which a sailor shoots and kills an albatross, a seabird said to bring good luck to sailors. The killer is cursed to spend eternity wandering the Antarctic Ocean unless he confesses his sin.

He drifts alone for several years, but finally prays for forgiveness and is saved, gaining a respect for God's creation in the process (the moral of the poem).

Invented at Michigan Lutheran High School.
Bob: We lost the football playoffs; who shot the albatross?
Alice: I did; I accidentally spilled some salt at lunch...

Alice: Don't cross your legs when playing poker. That's the poker equivalent of shooting an albatross.

Bob: If you end up on the cover of a Madden game, you'll shoot the albatross, so to speak, and end your career.

The Albatross 

An encounter where one woman gathers at least 10 other men and pleasures each one of them at once. She does this by entering into an open squat and placing each man's penis into both armpits, both elbow joints, both hands, both knee joints, her vagina/anus/both, and her mouth. The awkward and frantic motion of a flapping bird gives the impressive feat its name.

church hurt 

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.
Now that I am an adult I am beginning to heal from the church hurt that was inflicted on me as a child.
