Alanology
The study of all things relating to Alan Wilson, a founding member, harmonica player, guitar player and blues genius of Canned Heat. These include the study of blues guitar, slide guitar, harmonica, John Lee Hooker, and Son House. Alanology also includes the study of nature and conservation.
My friend Rebecca knows Alanology better than anyone I know. Not only does she play a mean harmonica but she's so in tuned with nature just like Alan was.

Aionology
Aionology: the study of persistence through change, conceptually similar to topology, only far more generalized, as it applies to all things beyond the mathematical realm, though it also subsumes the mathematical study in principle.
The question that aionology concerns itself with in the most broad fashion is: what constitutes the "same thing" when the underlying structure, environment, representation, or even dimensional context changes?
A topological aionology might examine:
Identity persistence — the conditions under which a pattern remains the same entity despite modification.
Continuity across transformations — what bridges one state to another when the transition is not simple deformation.
Pattern lineage — the ancestry of structures as they split, merge, decay, or reorganize.
Invariant cores — the minimal features required for recognition across transformations.
Emergent topology — topology arising from relationships among patterns rather than being imposed beforehand.

Aionology examines the persistence, transformation, and continuity of patterns across extended domains of change, exploring how identity is maintained through evolving topological states.

EBK
EBK stands for "Elite Ball Knowledge." 1 In internet slang, "ball knowledge" originally referred to a deep understanding of football/soccer or basketball, but it has evolved into a broader term for having a highly sophisticated, deep, or niche understanding of any specific topic (such as music, movies, or subcultures).

Blexas
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.

Ratfucker
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.
