Vipocracy 

A state of government or rule where in all senses of morality and sociatal correctness are discarded and an anarchistic rule is established. First realised by two chatroom members known as the Vipers when they took power and set themselves up as the demigods of the known boards. One may also take a Vipocratic oath in which one shows his respect to the randomness of life and rule of the Vipers and is willing to adhere to the customs that are in place at that specific time.
To set a state of VIPOCRACY.

Vivercracy

Vivercracy (n) (Viv-er-crase-ee)

1. A system of lateral governance in which sovereign authority resides permanently with the citizenry, who may at any time exercise that authority directly to legislate or recall their representatives. Elected representatives serve as conditional administrators rather than rulers, holding no power independently of the citizens from whom it is drawn and to whom it always returns. Governance is conducted under constitutionally enforced transparency, ensuring the relationship between citizen and representative remains horizontal, accountable, and revocable.
Under a Vivercracy, the people hold the balance of power and act within their own interests rather than those of the oligarchy.

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?"
