Inability to learn something, particularly due to psychological pressure. Often takes an existential threat to break.
From the first book of Harry Potter, and associated movie, comes this famous example:
Ron Weasley had a learner's block on Wingardium Leviosa, only broken during the toilet scene - he lifted the troll's club and KO'd the ugly thing.

A self absorbed middle to upper class woman, usually a mother, who gets in people's way by stopping in inopportune or inappropriate places.
Usually older, glasses, mom jeans, maybe a sweatshirt with floral applique. They stand in the middle of aisles at the grocery store, look askance in the doorway of the Barnes and Noble, stop at green lights. not all of their blocks are physical, or literal. They can block careers, or relationships, or personal growth.

Kiwi English vernacular for rural regions of bush and scrub land with farms and farmland being broken in. Usually difficult of access because only serviced by loose metal roads (gravel roads) that are narrow and dusty. Rough country farms with few and large paddocks inhabited by few people.
Not to be confused with back-block, which is the last paddock on the farm to have been broken into farmland.

The farm is in the back-blocks beyond Welsford (town in New Zealand).
Years ago Kaukapakapa was considered the back-blocks.
