It is what happens to you ear when you pick up a Butt Dial before the inadvertent caller quickly hangs up as you are listening.
Jimmy gave me a case of Butt Ear when his phone kept butt dialing me on his walk.

ear-buttons 

1. The skinny cartilaginous wings lining the anterior edge of the external auditory canal. Also called the tragus.

2. The magical buttons that when pushed, hide unwanted garbage-noise from entering the skull.
Do you always stick your fingers in your ear-holes when you hear Counting Crows?

No, I just push my ear-buttons.

What are those?

The little wings outside your ear; you push them onto your ear so you don't get your fingers gross with earwax.

Sounds complicating. I think I'll just stick with wax-fingers.

Ear butter 

When a voice is so smooth it is described as butter (but for your ears and not your mouth because it's sound and not food)
"damn dude, that guys voice is ear butter"

When a person has their headphones/earbuds in a public place and someone else rudely interrupts/butts in.

Mike: Hey what's the weather like tomorrow?
Rachel: Dude, stop earbutting!!

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?"
