Social Climbing Fakers
Any person of humble social origins who aspires to be a member of a higher and / or more affluent social circle. In order to qualify as a 'social climber' this person must first and foremost be an utter liar and one who will stop at nothing to shamelessly promote themselves above their social standing and ABILITY. For example, they went to a Polytechnic which suddenly translates into Eton followed by Durham University. They bullshit to the Boss about how hard working they are at the expense of their truly industrious, focused subordinates. In other words they are capricious and will stop at nothing to fuck you over and get promoted. They think they've 'made it' to the higher echelons when they've acquired a low spec BMW or Audi Q5 (insert name and model of other expensive motor vehicle) even though they had to take out a high interest dodgy loan to 'buy' this 'bauble'. They gossip and slag everyone off; they call people 'tramps' and such like when they look like shit themselves. The social climber will typically try to associate with completely higher ranking people, thus living beyond their means and totally ignore those of a lesser rank than themselves (particularly at social functions). It's all smoke and mirrors, networking and consolidation loans. They are so self indulgent that they fail to realise that their act is paper thin and their betters laugh at how ridiculous they are.

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
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.
