See: Writing Stick

Almost completely obsolete, considering most people in need of something to write with will opt to use mechanical pencils or pens instead. #2 pencils don't have too much priority over the above choices, but they are still used for "Fill-in-the-bubble" quizzes in schools around the country. A #2 pencil given to a student for a quiz will often be oversharpened by the teacher and used as a weapon. It may also feature bite marks from a previous student or a stupid eraser that doesn't work right.

Newer #2 pencils have modified lead, so lead posioning is no longer a concern. Feel free to eat your pencils.

It's a little known fact that #2 pencils are actually much better than #1 pencils. Sure, the #1 pencil got more girls than the #2 pencil did in high school, and the #1 pencil got signed by a multimillion dollar record company, but the #1 pencil suffers from a drug abuse problem and a lack of friends. The #2 pencil is just fine with being average.
Billy: "Teacher, why do we have to use #2 pencils for these tests?"

Teacher: "Because the robots that read and grade the tests can only smell the lead used in a #2 pencil. Go back to your seat"

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.
