peckawood 

This is an old southern term used by my grandmother. It is a disrespectful term for a white person similar to "cracker" or "honky." I believe it comes from the fact that woodpeckers have reddish hair up top like white people.

peckawood 

The correct word is peck of wood. It was used by slaves to describe the worth of a white man that was the overseer. The slaves pronounced it as peckawood and the word evolved to peckerwood with wealthy whites wanting to seperate themselves from the lessor whites than themselves. I'm 62 years old and i was told this by my grandfather when i was a young man.

church hurt 

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.
