Common examples:
• My first recorded nerdonym is "gazebo", which I originally thought was "GAYS-bo".
• What do you mean it's pronounced "GRAIN-ing"? I thought it was "Matt GRO-en-ing"!
• Person A: "I'm having a 'DIAL-mama'."
Person B: "A what?"
A: "A 'DIAL-mama'."
B: "Do you mean 'dilemma'?"
A: I thought it was...
B: ...it's 'DILL-emma", dude. You just had a nerdonym.
• "He's a great OH-raider. What? I just discovered a nerdonym, didn't I?"

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.
