Noughteens 

The decade after the Noughties, but before the 2020's

People talk about the 70s, 80s, 90s & noughties, but people often glaze over mentally when they cannot properly describe the 10 years after the noughties.
Sam: How long have you known that female superstar DJ bruv? Do you go way back?
James: Ages mate. Well not since 1990longtime, but well, we met sometime in the mid noughteens bruv. So, like 10 years now....

the noughties 

Disappointing sequel to the nineties and preview of how bad the 21st century was going to be.
The noughties was when 9/11, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the 2008 recession happened. What an awful decade! Thank God it's over.

Noughties 

A game you can play with your Sky remote.

You may have noticed, if you press the '0' button on your remote it will appear, as if you intend to change the channel for approximately 10 seconds before disappearing.
If you press the '0' button four times in a row, a red error message will occur that reads 'Channel Unavailable'.
Well, in the art of Noughties, the aim is to make this message occur in the longest time possible, i.e. wait as long as possible before pressing the next '0' without the previous '0' disappearing and continue this until the message occurs.

The maximum possible time is 30 seconds.
Guy 1: Mann this shit is boring, why are we even watching it?
Guy 2: I dunno.. fancy a game of Noughties?
Guy 1: Ok, i'll time you!

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?"
