A catholic high school located in the heart of Pontiac, Mi. Referred to as "Detroit Country Day" for white kids. There are two descriptions of the school, depending on what elementary/middle school you went to.
From Marist/Holy Family/St. Lawrence: The best four years of your life!!!
From anywhere else: Hell on earth.
Kara: This year is going to be fantabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
Emma: Not really. And how did you insert a smiley face into a spoken conversation?
Kara: What do you mean, not really? Marist was the BEST and NDPMA will be even better!!!
Emma: I went to Carter Middle School (Kara sticks up her nose and runs away.)
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. 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.
