Polisplaining 

Polisplaining occurs when a politician or political commentator talks condescendingly to someone about something he / she has incomplete knowledge of, with the mistaken assumption that she / he knows more about it than the person he's talking to does.
I just spent the last hour listening to a group of talking head polisplaining an issue everyone knows they haven't seen (or don't have the clearance to see) the evidence.

POGsplaining 

Someone who is a POG and tries explaining to a non POG how dangerous the military is while training or in combat, but holds an MOS that does not warrant being in actual warfare training or combat.
This guy was POGsplaining to me how dangerous fording a river is, knowing full well I was in the Infantry.

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.

Huge. Surpassing normal expectations.
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.
