Kettle on 

Although antiquated, to 'put the kettle on' is to say that the conversation will continue because of some new deep or entertaining news has been revealed and needs discussing, usually this involves actually making a new cup of tea (giving time to savour the space before gossip) but...

'Kettle on!' has no intention of actually making tea and can be said anywhere, it's like saying 'oh fuck me, this is news' or 'you have my undivided attention', 'I need to know everything'

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?"
