Nerfing, is a game definition term used by a player base to describe the reduction of power in a Class of unit or weapon that was threatening the balance of the game.
Often times players will be told well in advance of the upcoming patch a nerf is taking place. Primarily to keep players informed on modified game mechanics. And also to generate discussion.
A Stealth Nerf occurs when a game company does not announce a particular change to a game in the patch. Often times the change will simply be noted in the Patch notes, buried under other layers of changes players do not often read. Leading to many players confusion as to the change.

The purpose of the Stealth Nerf is to minimize the backlash from the player base if the Nerf being applied is a particularly popular play style.
It also serves to eliminate resistance to the change the producer feels is necessary, as often preventing a Nerf is much easier then reversing a Nerf.

the act of doing certian things quietly/slowly/very suddle or "under the radar" in order to keep your actions from certian others. It is pretty awesome if you do it right. It can save you from a lot of unnecessary stupid shit. It often involves a shitload of white lies or "closing the eye on aim"(being online, but people dont know until you IM them) but who gives a shit anyway as long as you keep away from the person your avoiding.
There are many kinds of stealth mode. There can be a stealth mode burp (this often works really well if your at your girlfriend's house eating dinner with her fam and you feel a burp but you hold it in by holding your tonsils back and letting it go as if you were just breathing out rather than belging and looking like an asshole.. another stealth mode can be "getting into the plane and its not even there" which can be various things like closing the eye mentioned above or just simply turning your phone off for a cerian period of time, and if she has a problem with it just turn your phone on to send the text "get off my fucking cock bitch" and turn your phone off right after.

"Dude, stop going stealth mode during class, the teachers coming your way!"
"God, there's so many people around me but this picture is so hot I think I might just go stealth mode right here right now..."

A genre of video games wherein the player must avoid direct confrontation and utilize espionage techniques in order to be successful.
Popularized by games like Metal Gear, Tenchu and Thief. Metal Gear Solid was arguably the innovator of the 3D stealth game, with series such as Hitman, Splinter Cell and Assassin's Creed further expanding on the gameplay.

A special type of hunger that sneaks up on ones self.
You will feel fine, and not hungry and all of a sudden you struck with unquenchable hunger.
It can sometimes be painful and uncomfortable, and is cured or satisfied by simply chowing down on food.

I felt fine during most of first block, not hungry at all, but at the end I got hit with Stealth Hunger and I needed to eat.
I wasn't hungry at all on the way up. But on the way back, I got hit with Stealth Hunger and had a stomach ache.
