"You're being prejudice"
Is this sentence ok? Didn't know you could use "prejudice" this way. Is it a British English thing?

I find it hard to pronounce '-ther'
Like in words such as other, mother, or brother. I've been pronouncing it as -der, but I recently found out that it's not correct. I'm trying to fix it, but it's still difficult for me.
How would say an action that's unintentional and brief like a native ?
I'm trying to express that a particular action I took was very brief and unintentional like when you suddenly sneeze, stretch, drink or scroll a social media. These sentences with different adjectives highlighted in **bold**. Which one sounds most natural to natives? Additionally, if none of these feel right, suggestions for rephrasing would be greatly appreciated. Here are the sentences: 1. Please don't be mad at me, that was only **a passing action**, like when you're scratching your back without even realizing it. You likely won't recall it. 2. Please don't be mad at me, that was only **a transient action**, like when you're scratching your back without even realizing it. You likely won't recall it. 3. Please don't be mad at me, that was only **a fleeting action**, like when you're scratching your back without even realizing it. You likely won't recall it. 4. Please don't be mad at me, that was only **a split-second action**, like when you're scratching your back without even realizing it. You likely won't recall it. 5. Alternatively, should I rephrase the sentence entirely? Does the overall sentence structure sound natural to you?
Can we also say “the landing gear doesn’t go down, get down, go up, come up, get up”? Are there any nuances?
