Shot in the dark 

A phrase used to describe a random guess, sometimes associated with a certain South African sprinter.
I didn't know the answer to the question so I took a wild shot in the dark, Oscar Pistorius style.

shot in the dark 

Occurs when peeing late at night or early in the morning, (usually accompanied by an unfortunate boner) when the pee-er fails to turn on the light due to sleepiness - leading the pee-er to urinate in the darkness and get piss all over the floor.

Common responses include "fuck it" under the pee-ers' breath, but responses NEVER include cleaning the stray urine off the floor. (sometimes leaving the mother to clean it)
MOM - John, did you pee on the floor?

JOHN - Sorry, I took a shot in the dark

MOM - Fuck it

Shot in the dark 

While mastrubating at night when your significant other is sleeping, you climax into their open, unsuspecting mouth.
Mike, you and Jane were doing great! Why'd you break up?

I got drunk and gave her a shot in the dark.

Was it worth it?

Totally.

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?"
