The next-generation data storage media disk, developed primarily by Toshiba. Although voted as the successor to the DVD officially by the International DVD Forum Organization, it is in close competition with the Blu-ray, developed by companies like Sony and Hewlett Packard. (A similar competition took place with the DVD, Toshiba's prototype ultimately chosen over Sony's).

It employs a 405 nm blue laser and has each capacity layer is 15gb. Toshiba has developed a dual-layered 30gb disk and a 45gb triple-layered disk.

Companies supporting the HD DVD include NEC, Sanyo, Microsoft, New Line Cinema, Paramount Pictures, Universal Studios, and Warner Bros.
Later releases of Microsoft's Xbox 360 feature HD DVD capable drives.

A successor to DVD with around 3x as much capacity, allowing for higher-quality video and extra features. Got utterly curbstomped by Blu-Ray.

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?"
