A type of apathy whereby you can not find the energy to walk to the local shop to buy sugar, but can find the energy to go out and count the amount of steps between where you live and the shop in question. This phenomenon was discovered at the University of Wales Lampeter, Where it's name derives from.
Bob: We need more sugar.
Billy: CBA
Bob: I'll go, then. How Far is the shop?
Billy: <Getting up and putting coat on> Hang on, I'll find out.
Bob:That's Lampathy for you!

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?"
