Stegner Fellowesque 

1. no adjectives, no adverbs. no beauty of language. no nabokov. no updike. marginal shit. often about homosexual relationships.
2. a clique of marginal writers who don't believe in adjectives nor adverbs. Usually shepherded by a relatively well-known author whose outsized ego has plucked them to be passable to teach intro workshops but without enough talent to ever eclipse him.
3.work published in thick-papered journals with cryptic names.

This story told from the perspective of a lesbian angel who now works as a cook at a camp in wyoming for kids with skin diseases and also has an epistolary correspondence with her puerto rican roommates mother, whom she is advising on suicide, strikes me as very stegner fellowesque.

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?"

What do you mean?
Summer here, summer there...
