Buffalo Squeeze 

"A "Buffalo Squeeze" is the term that originated to describe the driving of a buffalo herd into a canyon with progressively narrowing walls and with no exit (The term is now used to describe using this same process on wild horses). The narrowing walls would slow the herd of stampeding beasts and eventually stop them as the canyon walls finally came together. Now facing the wrong direction and with no escape they were at the mercy of the pursuers. -anon.

Squeeze a nickel 'til the buffalo shits 

Exceedingly frugal, ridiculously cheap, unwilling or unable to let go of money when one should
"Trying to get this guy to pay for something is impossible...He could squeeze a nickel 'til the buffalo shits!"

Squeeze a nickel 'til the buffalo shits 

Cheap sonofabitch. Will argue at length why s/he shouldn't have to pay for something. Mr. Pink from Resevoir Dogs. Often has few if any other friends because of reputation for cheapness. Frugal beyond practicality, cheap for its own sake.

The saying is in reference to an earlier version of the US Nickel, which had a picture of a buffalo on it. The phrase is sometimes updated as: "He'll squeeze a nickel till a booger flies out of Jefferson's nose."
"Fuckin' Randy! We all went to eat at Dennys and when the check came he paid with exact change and refused to throw in for the tip."

"Yeah, he'll squeeze a nickel 'til the buffalo shits. That's why I'm banging his girlfriend now."

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?"
