Scared Straight

1. Experiences of a Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer (LGBTQ) person "scared" into acting "straight" = scared straight, for a good lot of their life for fear of harassment, bullying, persecution & bullying.

2. A prison documentary about juvenile delinquents that are brought into prison for a whole day & get yelled at by convicts who know first hand what hard life is like in prison with the hopes of derailing their destructive path towards the prison industrial machine.

1. I was afraid of being harassed by those bullies that I was scared straight into hoping they will ignore me.

2. Go see Scared Straight.

Scared Straight

Intimidated so much by the straights that you prentend to be to be one of them to blend in. I.e., lesbianoge, being a secret gaygent, etc.

Abby: Wait, why is Bailey pretending she doesn't have a girlfriend in front of her relatives.
Darcy: Even the best of us get scared straight by our homophobic relatives.

beyond scared straight

A reality show where defiant teens are forced to spend a day (and sometimes a night) in jail, interacting with convicted felons who give them first-hand experience of life behind bars with the hope that they see where the path of destruction they are headed down could lead them.

It fun to watch Beyond Scared Straight and see troublesome and stupid brats get a much-needed attitude adjustment by visiting prison and getting verbally abused by inmates and prison staff.

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.

honkin

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?"
