Monawkward 

A portmanteau of "moniker" and "awkward"; Describes the situation after the realization that the new guy to a group uses an individual's specific name REALLY often while referring to everyone else as simply "guys", "hey, you", etc. because he doesn't know anyone else's name and is attempting to overcompensate.

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?"
