SCHLEPPING NACHAS

Comes from the two well know yiddish words, "schlepping," to drag around, and, "nachas," meaning pride.

Dragging around the accomplishments of ones children.

It is no surprise that the Jewish community values intellectual accomplishments, and the Torah tells us to strive for greatness, to become a pillar of our community. In Judaism, a man, is not one who is an accomplished pugilist, or fighter. He is a bookish intellectual, a scholar, a doctor, phd, or attorney.
..oh did I tell you?! Barry is completing his residency at Johns Hopkins Hospital! He will be great doctor, we always knew he would---even in college, he was at the top of his class, the president of all the clubs in high school! ...oh by the way, how is Ari doing?

Oy, there's Miriam, SCHLEPPING NACHAS again!

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?"
