Originally coined by the artist Zack De la Rocha from the song "Vietnow",
The song bashes right-wing Americans, which is what RATM are best at. Vietnow particularly focusses on right wing radio talk shows in America, like Rush Limbaugh for example.
From Genius:
"Well, I’m a truth addict, aw shit, I got a headrush"
This is a pun on drug usage and addiction. Kesha had ‘love’, Cobain had ‘heroin’, Winehouse had ‘alcohol’, Zack has truth. And all of this truth he is spitting is giving him a drug high.
Plato suggests in “The Republic” that the philosopher is always seeking the truth. By stating that he is a truth addict, Zack de la Rocha is saying he is a philosopher and not a Sophist, which were known to employ emotional persuasion not truth (like right-wing radio).
The term can also be used against the people who are right-wing extremists sarcastically and pejoratively.

Get the Truth addict mug./trout 'CHāsər/ idiom: a cishet man who strategically associates himself with an AMAB trans femme or virtue signals by using trans inclusionary discourse to be deemed safe and hence, access socially-progressive cis women's bodies for sex.
This neologism is a portmanteau of the idiomatic terms clout chaser (informal) and tranny chaser (offensive), while the
noun trout is one of many synonyms of the word fish, a slang term used among trans women to compliment each other.
Trout chasers for the most part have no desire to be involved with trans women romantically. Instead, they use, gaslight, and lead trans women on to boost their own ego and to be in cis and non-binary AFABs good graces, all at once. Cunning.

Girl beware. This guy doesn't really want you! He's just putting on a show to make those AFAB girls think his politics are on point. He's a selfish, typical trout chaser.
