Slanguage Barrier

When somebody does not understand what you are saying as a result of your use of slang.

"Got a ripper gobby yesty arvo. Fair dinkum"

"I'm struggling to understand you due to the slanguage barrier."

Slanguage Barrier

When a non-native speaker fails to grip the slang implications of something that would otherwise seem reasonable to say/wear on clothing. You know it when you see it.

"That kid's shirt says Dream Hum on the back…"
"slanguage barrier"

Slanguage barrier

Confusing out-of-towners or visitors when using slang from your local region.

Moving to a new city and making friends can be difficult if there's a slanguage barrier.

A profound point THAT I MADE BECAUSE I'M SMARTER THAN YOU.

Hym "Yeah, you're fucking garbage people. I made the point about the language barriers. Not her. She has to steal it for me because she's worse."

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?"
