adj. paradoxically subtle.
Ex. 1
Alex: Oh you have that class too? Wasn't that test hard?
Marvin: Yeah.
Alex: Yeah, I know huh? I only got an A-.
Marvin: No one asked you. You know, your paradoxical subtlety is really annoying.

Ex. 2
Dave: Someone's iPod earphones just latched onto my backpack on my way to class.
Anthony: Oh really? Those earphones are probably better than the ones that came with my new mp3 player. *takes out mp3 player and shows it off*

Subbtle

Correctly spelt ‘subtle’ but also sometimes spelt ‘subbtle’ because of the pronounced B. Subbtle means undercredited by overpowering, and so insignificant seeming but amazingly unstoppable and inevitable.
