Carlton Banks
Derived from the character on Will Smith's tv series "Fresh Prince of Bellaire," Carlton Banks is a term used to describe guys with various feminine tendencies or romantic shortcomings. Can be shortened to a "Carlton"
Carlton Banks can be a guy who is completely oblivious to all signals, innuendos, and other hints from girls. Like if his girlfriend called him at 2 am to come over for a "cup of coffee" he'd be like, "Sorry, I don't drink coffee this early, but I could come over around nine and play Scrabble with you if you want, and then maybe we could cuddle."
A Carlton Banks can also be a guy who seems to make up a bunch of stupid excuses to not have sex with his girlfriend. Like, "I feel like it will mess things up," or, "I'd rather just cuddle." While cuddling is nice, SO IS SEX!
Basically a Carlton Banks is that "sweet but stupid" boyfriend who you often suspect might be very very gay.

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.

That ol' gal of mine drives the 12 lane freeway during the week and a John Deere on the weekends. She likes opra and the Grand Ol' Opry. I love them countrypolitan women.
