Gravity Check 

The term originates from hackey-sack. A gravity check is when an easily playable sack hits the ground only because it was coming down equidistant between two or more players and each player didn't make an attempt because they thought someone else would play it.

The term can also be used in business to describe a situation where nobody on the team works on a task because they think someone else must already be working on it.
Your boss emails the whole team, "Gravity check. Earlier I sent an email to all of you asking that one of you please call the client today. Did any of you actually call the client?"

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?"
