Adam's Law

Named after Sinn Féin leader, Gerry Adams. Similar to Goodwin's law, this variation is an Irish version. When a topic is mentioned by an Irish person or on an Irish forum, as the length of the discussion grows, the probability approaches one that

(1) the IRA, Sinn Féin, "the troubles", Northern Ireland or The Irish Civil War will be mentioned.

What the hell, this forum title was about New Zealand planning on changing their flag and a mere 5 posts in, Adam's Law strikes!

The observation that whomever seeks a position of power is by that fact quite likely to be the least suited to be in that position of power.

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.

Huge. Surpassing normal expectations.

I was fishing with a Spinner Bait and a HONKIN pike came after it and hit it . Felt like a lawnmower running over a brick.

Stealthie

when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.

This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.

FRIEND A: "Did you just take a stealthie of me?"

FRIEND B (turning phone around): "no I was just using snapchat's new filter, see?"
