Very commonly used and inconspicuous excuse for getting out of pretty much anything. One can replace the word 'brother' with any relative that would make sense. Possible substitutes include but are not limited to:
Sister, Cousin, Nephew, Niece, etc.

(Guy 2) One sec... Nah, I have to take my brother to baseball practice.
(Guy 1) Hey Guy 2, wanna see a movie with some friends?

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.
