encrapsulation 

A very poorly designed and often unnecessary attempt at utilizing one of the central tenets of object-oriented software, often detrimental to the success.
The latest version of our crapplication makes extensive use of encrapsulation in the design to insure mind-numbingly slow performance.

encrapsulation 

Originally, Object Oriented Programming talks about encapsulation which means hiding all your detailed logic behind a class such that the user can only care about the application level of the function rather than trying to understand all the inner workings.

However, usually, many smaller libraries or examples/framework in assignment made by professors did a poor job to describe how the function really works, nor they have provided any meaningful example about the input of the functions, ending up doing the opposite of what encapsulation originally has claimed which the developer have to look into the implementation or even the whole program just to understand what the function really do.
Example 1: Damn, I am sick of this assignment about building AI agent for a Pacman Game where there is no clear documentation about how every classes works. How can I suppose to know all the properties and expected return data without looking into their encrapsulated agent classes?

Example 2: ("Coming Soon" in the documentation) Oh no... there is no documentation about this highly confusing python function over this confusing input parameter "something". Welp, it is time to find the source code of this encrapsulation to see what type it I should use.

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.
