French leave

Going AWOL, Desertion, etc.
"Zut alors! Où sont les militaires allés?"
"Ils ont pris, comme les Anglais disent, <<French Leave>>, quand ils ont entendu les gun-shots!"
"Hmm, comme d'habitude!" (Shrug of gallic insouciance).

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.

I was fishing with a Spinner Bait and a HONKIN pike came after it and hit it . Felt like a lawnmower running over a brick.
