Hoover Doover Manoeuvre 

An outlandish physical, or verbal feat, which leaves the observer in a state of amazement. Some might say "Houdiniesque"
Historically used after someone has rolled a perfect joint under particularly difficult circumstances (eg. while riding on a roller coaster or skydiving).
"Thats a real beauty! How did you pull off that hoover doover manoeuvre"

Otherwise typically used when watching sport;
"Wow, he stepped one way, then the other! Before you knew it he'd hoover doovered himself across the try line"

hoover doovers 

An alternate pronunciation for hors d'œuvres, based on their unusual spelling and the idea that one can hoover them up one after another.

Often associated with people not known for their sense of culture, such as members of the working class. Can be used jokingly or ironically.
It's already halfway through the first quarter and I'm starving! When's your wife gonna bring out some hoover doovers?

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?"
