Pharyngula 

A staggeringly popular biology blog that keeps a running public list of its killfile inhabitants

While one of the most egregious offenses that can be perpetrated by its commenters is “wanking”, readers/supporters of this blog seem to be unaware of the fact Pharyngula, itself, is one big wank fest.
Buddy was thinking about trolling Pharyngula in an effort to make it on to the "High Crimes and Misdemeanors" killfile list but was worried that his neck would hurt from all the cringing caused by reading the self-congratulatory, half-witted, smarmy retorts.

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?"
