Touch barrier 

When an idiot thinks that someone touching you back is a big deal. If someone touches your shoulder (not skin on skin), it breaks the touch barrier. Not anywhere near first base, but still progressing apparently

Not actually a real thing, but you sure as hell try to convince them!
"Omg today during class he touched my back! He broke the touch barrier!"
A salt of the earth bartender usually found in dive bars. Common characteristics are tattoos, mullet, scars, dirty jeans and black t-shirts. Special skills include ability to pour both kinds of drinks (beer and shots), and to settle any disagreement with the bat he keeps behind the bar.

Wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole 

Wouldn’t touch it with a bargepole is an expression indicating extreme dislike and distaste for an object, person or situation. The expression can be used in a similar way to wouldn’t touch her with a 10 foot pole, but is not solely applicable to females; it is even more disparaging when used about a female as it treats her as something less than human. Many bargepoles were 12 or 13 feet long, but one specialised type called a setting boom could be as long as 28 feet! So as you can imagine, wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole means something which you would much rather keep well away from.
“Mate, you want to avoid that one; I wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole!”

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?"
