Khomeini 

Grand Ayatollah Sayyed Ruhollah Mousavi Khomeini (21 September 1902 - 04 June 1989) was a senior Shi`a (Shi'ite) Muslim cleric, Islamic philosopher and Marja (religious authority), and the political leader of the 1979 Iranian Revolution which saw the overthrow of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the last Shah (king) of Iran.

Following the revolution, Ayatollah Khomeini became Supreme Leader of Iran—the paramount symbolic political figure of the new Islamic Republic until his death. Khomeini was known as an anti-colonial leader who created the post-colonial state, Islamic Republic of Iran after a referendum.

Ayatollah Khomeini was a Marja al-Taqlid, ("source of imitation") and important spiritual leader to many Shi'a Muslims.

He was named Time's Man of the Year in 1979 and also one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people of the 20th century.
Khomeini's father was murdered when he was five months old.

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?"
