SlowVertake

the art of overtaking another vehicle (usually a motorbike overtaking a car or cars) as slowly as possible with almost no acceleration to speak of so as to selfishly get what you want while simultaneously maximizing the inconvenience of everyone around you (especiallyy the 4 guys behind you who'd really like to and could also overtake if you would just speed up or get the fuck out of the way!).
Question Guy: Why are you late?

Answer Guy: I got stuck behind this douchebag who was an absolute master of the SlowVertake. I swear every car on the way here was doing 40kmh and he overtook all of them at 41kmh max without letting anyone get by him. Fucking prick... Hope he dies in a fire.

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?"
