Tetralogy 

The word overly sensitive linguists and people with a fixed attitude to language use (or pretensious posh people) use instead of quadrilogy, because quadrilogy is a mixture of Latin and Greek and therefore awfully awkward to say, darling.

Tetralogy is a word that means 'a series of four.'
Eg, "have you see any of the Alien tetralogy, I thought they were all totally nauseating, yah."

Rust Cycle Tetralogy

Originally the title of a book, Rust Cycle Tetralogy is a condition in which you feel as if you are being wiped from history piece by piece, slowly over the course of an extended period of time, until you are completely gone. Your friends will forget hanging out with you. Work you've done at your job will simply disappear. That lunch you made earlier and ate? It's back on the kitchen counter, untouched. "I think I'm beginning to disappear".

This condition was first recorded by Bernard Muse, a botanist who set out with the intent of recording and researching the rust cycle in wheat plants on a secluded farm in Utah. Over the course of the winter while trying to study and transcribe the wheat degradation cycle, he would start experiencing the symptoms listed above, and writing them down in his book "The Rust Cycle Tetralogy", which the condition is now named after. His book was found with other personal items when he failed to return home after the allocated time for his stay on the farm finished. Bernard was unfortunately never found.

While the condition does have some similarities to Dementia or other mental degradation diseases, it differs in the fact that other people seem to forget about things you said or did, instead of you yourself forgetting. This condition is speculated to cause a myriad of psychiatric damage to ones self, as you continue to second guess everything you think.
"Hey Bill! remember us going the Yankees game last Tuesday night? it was so crazy that they managed to comeback and win like that at the end!"

"What do you mean? After work I watched The Office for the whole evening."

"I think I'm suffering from a case of Rust Cycle Tetralogy"

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?"
