brain fade 

A lapse in concentration leading to disaster. Comes from auto racing, in which drivers sometimes lose control when their brakes overheat and lose their effectiveness, commonly known as brake fade.
That was quite a spin he had after taking that corner way too fast! His race is over. Do you think it was brake fade?

No, more likely it was brain fade.

Brainade 

An occurrence of attaining a clear mind, different thought processes, and seeing the world differently all in one instant. The mind stays in this state for under a minute and never over. After the event occurs, it seems as if everything has reverted back to how it was. It has the essence of a dream, so you would know that you had one, but not exactly the contents of it. Everything around you in reality becomes a blur while your mind narrows down and focuses on the sensation. A respect for time accompanies the event, therefore giving an urge to rush something particular that pertains to the certain individual. You could say that this event may be all your epiphanies into one since it is multiple realizations and confused emotions at one time. The brain believes these events are upgrades and starts to seek them out since they happen so rarely, even years at a time.

brainface 

A whimsical word used to describe someone who typically says something that alienates one or more of his/her friends on a daily basis, shouts random nonsensical words at awkward moments, tells stories that go nowhere and should probably stop one to two sentences before they actually do, makes references to world of warcraft knowing full well that no one in his/her social circle plays the game, and is frequently prone to bouts of dementia in which "every girl on earth is horny for them".

Variations include, but are not limited to:

Facebrain, Brainhead, Headbrain, etc.

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?"
