Airplane Syndrome 

n. When you're reasonably isolated from the rest of society with a small group of people, you tend to find the most good-looking person there to be exaggeratedly hot, when actually they are probably average-looking. Desperation.

Comes from the ability to pick out the hottest person on a long airline flight, when you're thinking about the possibility of a crash landing and who you'd want to hook up with on the desert island.
1: "Yo I'm seriously crushing on that one chick in my mech. engineering class."

1: "Hell yeah, she's the only one out of the three that doesn't look too much like a dude. I'm in love."

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.
