launderette 

Where you go when you gotta get some clothes washed/dried and you don't want anyone to know.

They got a bunch of coin-operating machines. These places aren't as common, but you can still find 'em if you search. Some of them let you dry your clothes for only 25¢ - at least the grimy looking launderette in my town does that.
I don't know what happened, but somehow I messed up my pants. I swear I don't know how that happened. Anyways... I'm headed over to the launderette - it'll be a waste of water and electricity to use all that energy on just my pants... but I just gotta do it.

Launderetiquette 

Launderetiquette is the often unspoken rules or etiquette and culture around using a launderette.

Although a poster may decalre that, "those using washers have priority use of driers", it's not always obvious who's gets to use any particulary piece of machinery, washer or drier.

Launderetiquette is the angst felt by many novice launderer.
Stephen (at the launderette): Uh, sorry guys, I'm not trying to push in, but is that drier free? Only, I'm not sure what the launderetiquette is round here!
Nigel: That's my drier! You'll have to wait! You can't just wander in here and start using driers - can't you see the sign?

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.

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?"
