Glessanda 

Someone unapologetically herself. She rises to any challenge. A complete bad ass. A lover and a fighter. Loyal to the very end. Takes a lot to piss her off but she doesnt mind acting like you dont exist. Lives in a dreamland. Surrounded by abundance.

Beautiful, intelligent and quirky. One of a kind.
I did my own thing - I pulled a Glessanda.

glissando 

Usually marked by a squiggly line in the music, a glissando is an effect in which a musician makes one note 'slide' into another.
A trombone player performs a glissando by moving the slide without tonguing.

A piano player performs a gliss by dragging his or her fingers along the keys.

A harpist drags his or her fingers along the strings on a harp to glissando.

A guitarist will pluck a note, and while the string is still vibrating, he or she will slide their finger along the neck.

A string player glisses similarly to a guitarist, but instead of plucking they will play a note with their bow.

A brass player that isn't a trombonist or a woodwind player will simply play a chromatic scale between the two notes.

Guessandspectulationism 

1)A common technique used by the 4th estate in an attempt to produce the most sensational story..
2)Widely considered the root cause of todays phenomenon known as "fake news"
Seems that the longer some of these reporters stay on scene the more elaborate their guessandspectulationism becomes...

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?"
