A dicey surgical procedure, by which one's compromised prefrontal lobe is removed and replaced with one of grandma's famous meatballs slathered in the secret sauce. If a wizened matriarch isn't around to provide such a meatball, an Olive Garden meatball can suffice, since they are also known to have minds of their own.
Did you hear about Vinny Alfredo? He almost got whacked... a bullet junked up a part of his brain. The doc had to do an emergency meatballobotomy. Unfortunately, Grandma's got COVID so we had to order up a meatball from Olive Garden. Luckily they still had some of her secret sauce left over in the back of the fridge. They said it looked like it had a little bit of mold on it so we're just praying the thing sets without him getting fungal meningitis.
Fogey/fogy /fougi/ sl. (early 18C+, orig. Scot) old-fashioned, stuck-in-the mud.
Person with old fashioned ideas which he is unwilling to change: Come to the disco and stop being such an old fogey!
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.

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.
