Watching Paint Dry

Internet slang for staring at your download progress bar or watching download speeds fluctuate.

Man sits there slumped over staring at a computer screen watching each file segment's progress on utorrent hoping somehow his DVD rip of the Dark Knight from aXXo will download faster because he's willing it to happen.

Friend walks in and asks. "looking at porn??"

Man replies "no, just watching paint dry"

Friend says "really should be looking at porn."

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?"
