lovecraftian 

Said of a creature, it means something that merely knowing it exists can wear away at ones sanity, and seeing it can be even worse. Such creatures are usually older than humanity, from another planet or dimension, or both. They are not, in the classical sense, evil, but view humans as humans view ants. Stereotypical Lovecraftian creatues are slimey with lots of tentacles.

Said of a story, it can mean several things:

1) A story where the protagonist stumbles upon Things Man Was Not Meant To Know, and ends up telling the story either from within an insane asylum, or from a journal he kept that is discovered after he mysteriously disappears.

2) Any story containing a Lovecraftian creature.
The monster from "The Thing" is pretty Lovecraftian.

Lovecraftian 

An overuse of obscure words and description overkill. In writing, this often results in the piece becoming utterly incoherent and annoying to no end.

This is most often carried out by pretentious dipshits who are trying to sound intelligent, but actually sound intelligent to no one but themselves.
If someone ever uses more than 5 adjectives to describe the colour green, they are said to be one hella annoying Lovecraftian pig-fucker.

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.

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?"
