out of the woods 

A phrase re-defined by Taylor Swift to describe the phase in a relationship after some initial awkwardness where your partner turns into a character from a romantic comedy.

Out of the woods 

For some kids, out of the woods meant back to where the authority figures they ran to were so they could get other kids in trouble, so much fun to them, or at least they claimed it was, that they had to have popcorn for show to somebody else), so they use the expression out of the woods a lot, but for others, the woods wasn't such a bad place to be.
Not everybody would want to be out of the woods if they were choosing between staying in the woods, and leaving the woods.

Coming out of the woods 

When you admit to yourself and the public, that you are a bear (large hairy homosexual male)
'Whoah, tyler is finally coming out of the woods everyone!"

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?"
