Short Answer

To answer a question without wanting to give any background information usually due to shame. Also used when you know the complete answer is extremely unexciting.

Brad-Short answer? Yes
Ryan- Long answer?
Brad-Yes.. and she turned out to be a "he" so lets drop it ok...

short answer

Any question on an exam that isn't multiple choice or matching. This is every student's worst nightmare and is the most common reason they fail, partly because they have no idea what to write down.

I failed the exam because every question was short answer.

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.

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?"
