Must've Been The Wind 

An unusual scene taking place for a split second before going back to normal like nothing happened.
"HUH is that a capybara riding on a gator?"
"Hmp?. Must've Been The Wind."

Must've been the wind

phrase

The default, automatic response given by someone experiencing auditory hallucinations (often associated with schizophrenia or other psychotic disorders) when they hear a voice, sound, or noise that isn't there, and they need to quickly dismiss it to a concerned person nearby.

It's the verbal equivalent of hitting "dismiss" on a pop-up ad in your brain. The person saying it knows, on some level, that the source is internal, but saying this phrase is a coping mechanism to maintain a facade of normalcy and avoid further questions.

A phrase used to sarcastically or darkly describe the moment you realize you're having a symptom, but you're trying to play it cool so no one freaks out.

More broadly, any dismissive explanation for something clearly paranormal, supernatural, or just plain weird.
Friend: "Hey, are you okay? You just flinched and looked at the empty corner."
Person: "Huh? Oh, yeah, must've been the wind. Thought I heard something."

"The shadow-people were whispering my name again, but my roommate was looking at me, so I just shrugged and said, 'Must've been the wind.' Gotta keep up appearances."

"Did that painting just blink?" "Nah, must've been the wind."

This one's sanity must've already crumbled... 

This sentence is often used when someone is acting unusually silly or crazy.

Originally refers to the roguelite roblox game Deepwoken. In-game it is said by one of the ignition union members after facing akira in the depths and being told to back off even though they outnumber him.
Ultimately ending in the squad's death after they pass the line drawn by akira.
A: "sticking out your gyat for the rizzler.. ur so skibidi.. ur so fanum tax"
B: "This one's sanity must've already crumbled..."

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?"
