Clinton-speak. A euphemism used when you have lied and get caught out.

Derived from usage by ex President Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary, who have both been caught out lying.
1. Reporter: "Mrs Clinton, in order to look tough and courageous, you claimed you entered Bosnia under sniper fire, but there is film of you stepping off a plane and being greeted by a welcoming party - no gunfire anywhere."

Hillary: "I admit I may have misspoke."

2. Bill: "I did not have sex with that woman!"

Monica Lewinsky: "I gave the President blow-jobs in the Oval Office, and he stuck cigars up my vagina and masterbated me with them."

Bill: "It wasn't sex, but I admit I did a little Miss poke."

Reporter: "And what about Jennifer Flowers?"

Bill: "Well, I thought her cunt was vase so I stuck my stalk into it. That wasn't sex - it was just ikebana."
To tell a blatant lie. Coined by Hillary Clinton - Hillary Clinton has insisted that she simply "misspoke" when she claimed she landed in Bosnia under sniper fire 12 years ago. However, Mrs Clinton says she simply made a mistake due to sleep deprivation, which "proves I'm human".
Wife : You motherfucker !! How dare you call my mother a ugly money grabbing back stabbing bad tempered fat old whore ??

Husband : I'm sorry my darling. I simply misspoke.

When a Democrat, especially a Clinton, tells the opposite of the truth. Not to be confused with "Lie", a word reserved for Republicans who speak using documentation.
Hillary Clinton misspoke about her recollection of her trip tp Bosnia. George Bush had CIA documentation of WMDs in Iraq, therefore, he lied.

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?"
