A seemingly innocent piece of information, fact, reference or link that someone shares with you, only for you to discover that it's something you absolutely despise or find intensely annoying. Often, negareferences are potentially internet bait-and-switch schemes, like the infamous Rick Roll or The Game, or even irritating memes like Loss.
Even though they're meant to be harmless fun, they're so omnipresent and overused online that knowing them or falling for them could make you wish for a memory reset button. Circulating predominantly in online communities, negareferences are a modern, digital-age equivalent of a persisting bad joke.
I was so excited when my friend sent me a link to a 'hot newband's music video'. Turned out, it was a negareference, and I got Rick Rolled.
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.
