Murphy's Law of Log-Splitter-Ram Positioning

"If you draw the ram back just part-way, the next log will be an extra-long one for which you'll hafta lengthen the splitting-gap more, but if you pause to draw the ram back all the way, then the next log will be really SHORT, and so your zassprated helper will hafta ears-smokingly wait till you hastily reverse the valve-handle and the ram takes it sweet old time creeping back outwards again to reach the end of said stubby log that he's holding!

I helped some friendly country-folks with preparing firewood for seasoning, mostly by operating their log-splitter while they sawed up wood-sections and loaded them onto the machine. Everyone was good-natured about the whole operation, but I still felt like Murphy's Law of Log-Splitter-Ram Positioning was often working against me, since I frequently had to adjust the position of the ram to either accommodate a longer wood-piece or move it in closer to the end of the log.

Pitpig

An armpit enthusiast — typically of the scent, appearance, and touch of hairy underarms.

That dude’s such a pitpig, I have to wear deodorant to keep him at bay.

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?"
