unbearingly 

Unbearingly is sometimes labelled simply as being an incorrect word, and that the correct word for it is "unbearably." However, in slang, these two words mean different things. Unbearingly means to not be able to stand something to the extent that it is "breaking your back," or troubling you severely, and so you want it to go away (or desire to get away from it).
Here is an example of the difference between "unbearably" (which is a real word) and unbearingly (which is slang and not accepted in formal writing):
"That person was unbearingly nice" means that they were so nice it was unpleasant, perhaps annoying, or in some fashion distasteful. You didn't like it and were happy to get away from them. However, "That person was unbearably nice" means the opposite: the person was so nice, you could not resist them; you couldn't resist falling for their charms, essentially, and will likely look forward to seeing them again.
Of course, slang and "incorrect" terms differ by region, and in some places these two might mean the same thing, but where I live they do not.

Unbearingly 

Out of this world. Insane. It's when the gravitational pull straight up yanks the compass needle off its bearings, therefore becoming unbearinged. It's unbearingly obvious!

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?"
