Gaykeeping 

Similar to Gatekeeping, the act of shaming, belittling, or alienating individuals from the LGBT+ and wider queer communities on the premise of "not being gay/queer enough".

It most commonly happens to bi/pansexual people currently in a heterosexual relationship, but can affect others such as the genderqueer, or even just someone who rejected another gay.
"Don't you just hate Gaykeeping?"
"Oh man, I know right? The other day this girl called me a fake ass lesbian because of my boyfriend, even though I told her that I'm Bi"
"Ridiculous"

Gay Seeding 

Once a popular passtime, the gardening term Gay Seeding consists of digging a small hole, planting a seed in it, and exclaiming gay-pride phrases in a loud, proud voice, as in, "Be Faaaabulous!!!"
"I put in my garden last week and was gay seeding.

I scared my neighbor lady until she figured out I was urging on my veggie garden, at which point she came out and joined me. We are besties now."

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?"
