honest work 

A job that isn't the best paid but it's useful and legal
Auntie Louisa what do I do now? My girlfriend is pregnant

You get a job and support her the best you can. Even if it's something boring like working in a bakery.

But my mates will laugh at me

There's no shame in honest work that helps you provide for your family

honest work 

Work that provides a living. Working 40 hours a week in an honest job pays for the following: Food, a path to pay for a house, hygiene and necessities, vehicular transportation, money to cover that insurance, health insurance and Dental are the basic standards of honest work. Dedicating your body to another's profit should never be rewarded with struggling. If your job doesn't cover the sentence you are an expendable slave. Nothing more, nothing less.
"If America was so fucking star spangled awesome then why can't they take care of their people?" Johnny asked his Dad

"Well Johnny, America is the biggest bully on the playground. The biggest bully bows to nobody, and lies to himself about his problems. Bullies like exercising their power so how do they keep it? They starve their young population into believing the only honest work left is to be a soldier by taking away all of the honest work."

"But Dad how do you beat the bully? There has to be a way for people to have honest work without being a soldier."

"You don't son. The bully has to come to terms with himself and admit his problems, or you team up with everyone else on the playground to take him down. The fun part about that is beating up the bully IS HONEST WORK!"

An Honest Day's Work 

Something the well-to-do love to brag about doing while they are driven around in their limousines visiting the factories they own. Meanwhile, they pay the real workers scraps, and brainwash them into thinking backbreaking work will get them rich someday as well.
Big Lawyer #1: Theres nothing as honorable as an honest day's work, especially when I get 400 dollars an hour to babble on the phone with other people's lawyers about golf and wine tasting.

Lawyer#2: Yessir I worked hard to get to where i'm at, even though I spent half of law school, which was paid for by my parents, in cocktail bars.

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?"
