A mild or almost undetectable sensory exchange between two people who may or may not be sexually appealing to one another. This can manifest in the form of thighs touching gently while seated next to one another, brief but intense eye contact, or one person leaning over the other to see something.
"We were sitting on the bus together, and there was definitely some subtle touching there."
"See the way he's leaning over her? That's a subtle touch."

I want to be a nudist, but I don't want to do it out in public so I'll be a subtle nudist.

When in a large group of people you, under the cover of a blanket, put your hand on someone's leg, stomach, or other like places. Making sure that noone other than you and the recipient know what is going on under said blanket.
Last night I was at my girls place and we watched a movie with her parents. It was cool though we subtle cuddled the whole time....they had no idea.

When a girl pouts out her lips like the duckface but only pouts them out a little bit, more like a kissy face.
Either way it's still the duckface they're just trying to be sneaky and cute about it.
"Tumblr-girls" tend to do it a lot.

Guy: "Hey this girl looks hot, look at this selfie of her."
Friend: "Nah man she's doing a subtle duckface, that ain't cute."

An individual that bears the semblance of being a cool person, but this perception is merely a veil for their extensive douchiness. A subtle douche may take the shape of someone not generally perceived as a douche (i.e. a nerd), but may in fact use that sterotyping as leverage to assert their ill-conceived sense of self-worth. Subtle douches generally aren't as blatant in expressing their levels of douchiness, but are capable of putting forth equal to larger amounts as their more expressive cousins.
Person A: Something about his class, man, I just can't seem to get above a B on his essays.
Subtle Douche: Yeah, I don't know what is either, seems I'm always getting at least a 95%. I don't get it.
Person B: I'm doing my report on Edgar Allen Poe, how do you feel about him?
Subtle Douche: Well Poe was something of a tortured genius. Unfortunately, the way he was perceived by the public outweighs the sheer brilliance of his work. He reminds me of myself in that sense.
Person C: God, The Beatles are such a solid band. I love them so much.
Subtle Douche: Yeah, the Beatles are cool and all, but they're waaaaay mainstream. I like Mumford & Sons. They're way indie bro. Seriously, like no one knows who they are.
Person C: You're a fucking tool.
