otherisation 

Used by the neuroscientist Kathleen Taylor to describe what happens when people are not included in their tribe; the others are commonly classed as beasts or subhumans.

Can be broadened towards separating people belonging to different religions or separating believers/non-believers, friends/not-friends
Those who carried out the final solution in Nazi Germany could only have done it by otherisation of the Jews.

otherish 

This is the true opposite of selfish. Synonymous with selfless.
A selfless person thinks less about himself. But there is still some "self" in that word we use. The best way to be selfless is to be otherish. That's a more descriptive word for where we really should focus our attention. And it is a positive rather than negative word.

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?"
