'GOM' (girl over mates) is a noun that refers to a man who places the needs and requirements of his chosen female (girlfriend, f*ck buddy, wife etc.) before those of his friends. The term, in almost 100% of cases, is used in derogatory terms and is an insult of the highest order. Denying the pertaining to being a 'GOM' however is nigh-on impossible and is most often begrudgingly admitted and indeed adopted by the offender.

'GOMming', the accompanying verb to 'GOM', is the practice of spending time with said female. Originally, the term 'GOMming' was only used (again in inflammatory fashion) whence the 'GOM' in question was sacrificing spare time to entertain his ladyfriend in place of his friends. The term has since transgressed, and any time spent with a female, whether in place of time with his friends or not, is considered 'GOMming'.

In recent times, the terms 'GOM' and 'GOMming', due to their offensive magnitude, have become ongoing slurs towards those not currently offending but with a history of doing so. Scholars now maintain that being a 'GOM' or indeed 'GOMming' are not individual occurrences or practices, more a 'mindset, attitude, and a way of life'. The term is incredibly difficult to shake and has is known to cause sever psychological damage to those sullied by it's use.

Other uses include: GOM off, GOMming 'ell, GOMtastic, il GOMmeri (Italian), and GOMpig (used in only the most extreme circumstances).
Example 1:
Mattheu: "Chris are you out tonight"?
Chris: "Sorry Mattieu, I'm GOMming tonight".
Mattieu: "You fu*king waste. Lads! Chris can't come out tonight because he's GOMming".
Chris: "I'm out tomorrow night mate! The gf is on at the moment, gotta keep her sweet".
Mattieu: "I hope you catch clap you cretin".

Example 2:

Fred: "Wubble when on God's green Earth can we hang out?".
Wubble: "Soon my good man; I have been incredibly busy with work and my new football team".
Fred: "Any danger of you not GOMming for one minute?".
Wubble: "I'm not GOMming; Fred I've been single for nearly a year!".
Fred: "Once a GOM, always a GOM. You sicken me".

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.
