we built this city on rock and roll

a phrase from We Built This City, a song from Starship, a band who in previous incarnations had been known as Jefferson Starship, and previously to that, Jefferson Airplane... Some folk despise this song, maybe rightly so, because in their 1960's incarnation as Jefferson Airplane, this band was one of the ones from that era that mattered.

We Built this City on Rock and Roll

I think everyone can agree that this is the worst song ever.

Starship are such glam wannabe's.

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?"
