Quiverfail 

An adult raised in the “quiverfull” movement; a Christian fundamentalist mentality which encouraged parents to not use birth control and have as many children as conceivable to be “shot out” into the world “like arrows” to spread Christian fundamentalist values ingrained through restrictive homeschooling, lack of sex education, creationism verses science, etc.

A “Quiverfail” is an adult who has rejected their “quiverfull” upbringing, becoming an autonomous, science believing adult. The more rebellion, the higher the level of being a “Quiverfail”
“I’m a total Quiverfail: having sex outside of marriage, piercings, tattoos, consuming substances, having abortions, listening to rock music… the total opposite of the Christian fundamentalist arrow I was raised to be.”

“He came out as gay! Congratulations on being a Quiverfail!”

“Fellow Quiverfail over here! How many siblings did you grow up with? 5? 10? 12+ ?”

quiverfull 

A branch of evangelical Christians who take the Bible literally. They believe that one of the most important of God's commands is to "be fruitful and multiply" (it's written twice!). Quiverfull families have as many children in the least amount of time that is humanly possible. The quiverfull mission is to repopulate the world with white Christians, and the movement is one of the fastest growing segments of Dominionist Christians.

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)
