jammy paul 

A Jammy Paul or Jammy Paul Rowarth
I decided to define this phrase because the other day I heard someone mentioning it casually in conversation, I have recently been told that the phrase is common use in the Manchester area, UK.
So, I thought I would explain how this phrase 'actually' came about.
The act of doing something accidentally good or successful, extremely good luck, a fluke. Occurence based solely on luck or chance.
To perform or pull a jammy paul.
The phrase originates from the "Super Mario 64" video game, (it's a long story), whilst on Cool, Cool Mountain (Course 4), the "Big Penguin Race" level, my older brother's best friend named Paul Rowarth was 'sliding down the slope' (Nintendo fans may understand) when completely accidently and unintentionally fell off the slope, but with a stroke of luck somehow managed to 'fall' back onto the below track and continued sliding, to which we exclaimed 'Jammy Paul!', he then continued and completed the race in a record time, and when the penguin completed the race and approached him we expected him to call him a cheater etc. but to our surprise he congratulated him and surrendered his star.
I recently bought a 'Nintendo DS' and the remake of this game and found that they had corrested this error, I was quite disappointed.
"I just pulled a jammy paul"

"Hey guys, Dan pulled a jammy paul"

James - "It was probably just a jammy paul'

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)

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.
