Me and William totally went hotwalling the other night. In the basement. Next to the Ramen Noodles. With a hammer. And a bunt cake.

HONYwashing 

When a politician strategically responds to a Humans of New York post in order to cover up for the bad things they've done. Similar to pinkwashing or whitewashing but instead using HONY (Humans of New York) to achieve a certain end.
Hillary Clinton demonstrated HONYwashing during her run for 2016 presidency when she responds to a HONY about a gay child fearing for his future. Many people praised her reaching comment, effectively erasing her 2004 statement that marriage is between a man and a woman.

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?"
