does anyone have a word for this

something that describes that feeling that washes over you when someone new in your life, say, a neighbor, an acquaintance, a coworker.......... someone you were maybe starting to like, says something that signals to you they are part of the CULT

“You don’t really believe that do you?”

Ooops. He was a bit offended I know. But we are still good. I think.

Also "good riddance". I know that is 2 words but it is what I said when it happened to me. I only know/knew one of them and as soon as I found out I said many 4 letter words too.

They have a word for EVERYTHING!

And if they don’t, they jam a few other words together and make one!
