Ceiling Bird
(Noun.) A constantly chirping(hence why they are birds,) smoke detector which is usually mounted on the ceiling, perhaps unbeknownst to its owner that it is indeed in need of a new battery.
These entities appear to be found vastly disproportionately in the dwelling places of those of African descent, for reasons researchers are still trying to discover. Possible theories include:
a.) The people in question are simply too lazy to do the few minutes of work to get a step ladder and to change the battery.
b.)They are not forward-thinking enough to keep extra 9v batteries in storage, therefore a trip to the store is required. The ceiling bird keeper is subsequently either too lazy to go the store, or too cheap to want to pay for a new battery.
c.) The chirping/beeping is simply drowned out by the cacophony of other sounds - loud/poorly behaved children, loud music, TV, constant yelling, etc. Thus the owner is unaware of the problem in the first place or has learned to just tune out the chirping.

Ceiling-makers
These are the systemic barriers that can limit your advancement within an organization. They’re not "necessarily" individuals. They can also be the invisible forces that hinder progress, such as gender bias, ageism, or outdated company policies. Recognizing these ceiling-makers is the first step in breaking through and achieving your goals.

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.
