A term originally created by a sergeant with the Los Angeles Police Department SWAT Team. Designed as a reminder that in fact you only have "one ass to risk"(1 as-te-risk), so you'd better be careful.
Don't get yourself shot tonight, you only have 1* and a whole life ahead of you.

When you are so excited or so angry that you lift your hand off the shift key to early and accidentally put a "1" at the end of your numerous exclamation marks.
Mother: GET HOME NOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
Child: Ugh okay!

Jenny: I cant wait to finally have sex with him!!!!!!!!!!111111111
Dan: Um I am you ex why are you telling me this?
Common typo among people who like to insert many exclamation points to the end of a sentence, caused by accidentally releasing the Shift key before the 1 key, and sending the message without previewing it to realize the typo had been made.

Often used on purpose to make fun of such accidents and the people who make them, or as part of leetspeak.

A similar but less-joked-about occurrence is the tendency to insert backslashes after a string of question marks.
I DON'T BELIEVE IT!!!!!!!!!!11111

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.
