down in flames

Any endeavor which fails in an awe-inspiring or spectacular manner. Origin of phrase taken from old WW1 movies where the Red Baron shoots down an opposing French or British biplane fighter, which then spirals down out of control, trailing a long streamer of flame and smoke from burning fuel.

Did you see Joe trying to hit up that hot chick at the club last night? She took one look at his geeky 70's clothes, haircut, and nerdy glasses, and shot him down in flames without even opening her mouth to say a word!

Pitpig

An armpit enthusiast — typically of the scent, appearance, and touch of hairy underarms.

That dude’s such a pitpig, I have to wear deodorant to keep him at bay.

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?"
