Arrested Development 

1) The best show you never saw. The Emmy Award winning show which survived for about two and a third seasons before being cancelled by Fox. Failed due to being far too smart for a mass audience who would rather watch Pamela Anderson "act" on Stacked.
2) Any act of getting completely screwed despite undeniable skills.
1) Fox jumped the shark when they gave the "Arrested Development" timeslot to "Prison Break."

2) When Michael Bluth was repeatedly passed over in favor of his amusing, inept, "illusionist" brother, Gob for leadership of the Bluth Compay, he was given the AD treatment.

arrested development 

IMO, the funniest and most well written show on TV.
Buy the DVD's to fully grasp the greatness of this show.
From Arrested Development:
"Lucille: Well, apparently, mood-altering medication leads to street drugs. That's what this very handsome young doctor said on the Today Show.
Michael: That was Tom Cruise, the actor.
Lucille: They said he was some kind of scientist..."
(if you don't get the above quote, don't bother watching the show)

Arrested Development 

Impeccable in every way, this canceled sitcom was the pinnacle of human achievement. Much like Van Gogh, its brilliance wasn't fully realized until after it bit the dust. Since its cancellation, Arrested Development has garnered a rabid cult following--a following that petitions, prays, and sacrifices small animals to the god Mitch Hurwitz in hopes of an Arrested Development movie.
Arrested Development: A cult following that WON'T poison and kill you!

EBK stands for "Elite Ball Knowledge." 1 In internet slang, "ball knowledge" originally referred to a deep understanding of football/soccer or basketball, but it has evolved into a broader term for having a highly sophisticated, deep, or niche understanding of any specific topic (such as music, movies, or subcultures).
Person A: "That scene was a direct homage to an unreleased 1982 Japanese indie film."
Person B: "Wow, EBK."

Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.

Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
