Term used in South Africa to objectify people who are more stupid than they already seem but on another level where no human would ever do something as dumb as that
"Gabriel is poes dom"
"Chetty is poes dom with a short temper that's a bad combo"
A word used mainly (or only in my knowledge) in southern Africa to refer to a group or person that is ever not making sense or a nicer way of saying the person is not that bright or smart
The word Fokken used in front shows its an opinion or statement ,towards the person saying the sentence(this is the correct form but its almost never used as such)
Poes at the end rounds it down and can be left out but will make the statement harsh to the individuals
The man going crazy is a fokken dom poes .
Or
This group is fokken dom poes.
Or
Its not nice calling someone dumb rather say foken dom poes.

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
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.
