Mandatum paradox 

this is a paradox which occurs when someone asks you to 'not be nice to them'. Here, if you do not behave nicely towards them, you are actually listening to them, and thus being nice. Whereas, if you don't listen to them, you'll be acting nice to them. And thus, there is no appropriate action to this command/request.
Dude, she asked me not to be nice to her, but that request makes no sense, isn't the mandatum paradox exactly about this?

mandammit 

(noun) A thin, wispy moustache, usually hugging the lipline. Just a few hairs thick, and usually extends no further to the sides than the mouth does.

Usually the only facial hair that 14- or 15-year-olds can grow, it is left unshaven as a display of how manly the child has become.

Though occasionally worn by grown adults, the mandammit is the hallmark of teenagers insecure about themselves, but proud that they can grow facial hair. These teenagers are usually male.

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?"
