Religious trauma

A term used by people who have been treated awfully by religious people. Often times, the religious person is a guardian or someone close to you, but can also just be random religious people.

Trauma drafting

Trauma drafting is when you follow loosely behind an ambulance, fire truck, or other emergency vechicle who's sirens are on to catch the green lights that they've turned in their favor and take advantage of the fact that everyone in front of them has pulled over.

Husband: "Wow- You made it home in record time!"

Wife: "Yeah, I was trauma drafting all the way down University Ave. I think there's a fire or something down the street."

Trauma Queen

A person (generally female) who acts as if she is severly dysfunctional for attention. Similar to a Drama Queen, except Trauma Queens play the "little lost girl" role. Usually she will tell you a heartbreaking story of being abused, raped, incarcerated, or hospitalized and suffering from severe emotional disorders. They frequently have fake nervous breakdowns or "wrist cutting episodes" where they scratch their arms up a little with a safety pin.

Kate says she is having catatonic episodes again from being raped in a Turkish prison, lol, what a Trauma queen.
