"Wet cat in a cardboard box rizz" can be used to describe someone so pathetic and or innocent, that you feel the need to date them, out of pity, or sympathy. Like how if you see a cat abandoned in a box on the side of a rainy street, you feel compelled to pick them up, and take care of them.

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?"
