Implied Parenthesis 

A term consistantly used by stubborn mathematically challenged morons who don't even know the order of operations.

Typically used as a defense when such people fail to answer a multi-part equation, and don't feel like admitting their mistake.

When a person uses this term they are basically saying that there should have been brackets surrounding certain parts of a math equation.
Person 1: What does "2 + 3 x 4" equal?

Person 2: 20!

Person 3: No it's 14, learn your order of operations.

Person 2: No! It's supposed to be read as "(2 + 3) x 4". Implied Parenthesis noob!

Person 3: If that were true then the entire order of operations would be untrue.

Person 2: IMPLIED PARENTHESIS!!!11!

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.
