make a way to break away 

make a way to break away — the earnest effort to use every ounce of your courage, skill, heart, and drive, to create a path for yourself in this world.
I’m in the struggle EVERYDAY; I’ve got to make a way to break away.

Mercury joins forces with Neptune on your birthday, so you will be more aware than usual of what is going on around you. That in turn will make it easier to understand why other people act the way they do. Question your own motives too.

make a phone call to John Wayne 

This is a more inside way of saying you have to drop a deuce (take a crap), it works really well in an office setting so that you may let your close, personal co-workers know where you are going without letting everyone else know. This is derived from John Wayne's nickname being "The Duke", and can be shortened by simply saying "I have to make a phone call", or added to by saying "man John Wayne has been calling me all day."
"I'll be right back I have to make a phone call to John Wayne."

"I'll call you right back John Wayne is calling me on my other line."

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?"
