Fast Fauxward 

When a reality television show or competition intentionally re-edits footage for a pre-commercial tease that is not really what occurs when the show returns from break.

Often used to maintain viewer interest or tension through the commercial break.
"America's Got Talent implemented a sly use of Fast Fauxward tonight, as its "coming up" package showed clips of the judges coming down hard on a young girl about to cry... but after the break, the judges actually put her through to the next round with nothing negative to say."

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?"
