panicdote 

When one is supposed to be engaged in conversation and therefore actively listening, one can sometimes find oneself at a loss for words when, unexpectedly, a response is desired and the would be responder has not been paying attention. In an effort to comply, one sometimes stammers and says something ridiculous, unrelated or incoherent. The unfortunate utterance is called a panicdote.
John: ....so that is why we should support the ruling party's plan to build a nuclear plant on top of the San Andreas fault, you see?

Mary, having heard nothing John has said, responds with the following panicdote: ....I have a kitty at home.

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?"
