tutor effect

Also known as the "sibling spillover effect", this effect describes how an older sibling's academic success or even a specific educational intervention they received positively influences their younger sibling's achievement, often through shared learning, role modeling, and increased academic engagement at home, particularly benefiting younger siblings in reading skills.
Thanks to the "tutor effect", my little brother is acing his reading tests because he sees how hard I study and wants to follow in my footsteps.

The Tudor Ivan Effect 

the Tudor Ivan effect is a nonconformist phenomenon with aphrodisiac intentions applied to a partner of the opposite sex with the intention of initiating or simmering the man towards a sweet game of cards.
Person 1: Idk man she has everything, like personality, good tastes and large balconies. But today she ghosted me and I am mad.
Person 2: Oh no you just gotten the Tudor Ivan Effect lmao.

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?"
