chackmate

What you say, in closing, when you're pretending to be a stupid person who thinks they're making a clever argument. Usually as a hashtag following a pastiche of a dumb-person interlocutor you imagine you're arguing with.

Etymology: the first confirmed ironic usage was by @gbowie3 on September 30, 2012:

well in America we invented democracy, capitalism, freedom and the number one nation in the world #MERICA #ChackMate

fatcrack

Technically any fold of fat of a morbidly obese person, but in common usage one that harbors foul-smelling excretions. These can be simple body odor, areas that were too hard to reach during showering, or areas that have become fouled through elimination, the impossibility of spreading the cheeks, or constrained by the shape of a toilet seat (the latter two causing a "muddy fatcrack"). The word can also be used to describe odors caused by a fatcrack - in this case 'fatcrack' is most often experienced when the fat person moves, releasing a bolus of odor, or 'fatcrack'.

1. "Damn, that lady on the bus had some serious fatcrack going on."

2. "What's that smell? - Oh, that's Ruth, she's got a muddy fatcrack".

"What kind of food should I make if Mary's coming?"
"Anything but red meat - she's a Texas Vegetarian."
