i'll be darned 

Being surprised.

Something you couldn't/didn't think of.

Something you can't agree on.

This phrase was first started by southern Africans at the time of 17th century. People usually use it now when they see something that they thought was impossible, has been done. Or sometimes it can be used in a manner of not agreeing to something, in case of apologizing etc.
I'll be darned if I say sorry to him.

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?"
