16 will get you 20 

16 will get you 20 is actually a fallacy, based on the rules for pornography in the United States. While it is true that a minor (under 18) may not appear nude in any form of media, there is no federal law mandating a legal age of consent. The age of consent is defined by the state government, not the federal one.

The most common age of consent in the United States is 16; however some states have 17 or 18 as the legal age of consent. It is however a federal crime to cross state lines with a minor in order to have sex legally; you cannot take your 16 year old girlfriend from NY to New Hampshire just to have sex.

Most states also have a close in age exemption of around four years, where teens aged 14+ may have intercourse with others within four years of their own age. Numbers vary state to state, some being 16+, and some with 3 or 5 years; and not every state has such rules.
Dude 1: Man, your gf is total jailbait; you better watch it or you'll wind up in the pen. 16 will get you 20!

Dude 2: We live in Indiana, dumbass. Legal age of consent is 16.

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.
