meta-narrative

A set of socially acceptable actions and milestones as deemed by general society to follow through your life that will bring you happiness. In western society this means, being born, going to school then university, meeting someone, marrying them, buying a house together, having kids and then dying.
Mmmm yeah it just seems like John hasn’t really questioned the meta-narrative you know... he’s just kind of doing what is expected of him.

And it isn't 3 note.
Hym "No. Shithead. There is an entire anime dedicated to the multiplicity of meta-narrative that can be derived from this. What the actual fuck are you talking about? Do you know it's name? It's coming out with a 3rd season. There are literally dozens of meta-narrative in here. It's a literal masterpiece by all relevant metrics."

Metanarrative Dissonance 

Metanarrative Dissonance is an incongruence between the narrative of a game (the story) and the outside parts unrelated to the story nor the game itself (real life related features).
+ Why are the illustrations made by this character so different to each other? I thought they had a unique style.

- Must've been made by different ppl irl. Metanarrative Dissonance sucks.

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?"
