Dual Tone Multiple Frequency. Pressing a button on the keypad of a touch-tone phone generates a pair of tones of specified frequency and duration. The network or the equipment at the other end of the connection (such as a remote control for a phone answering machine, or a telephone interconnect system) detects and interprets these tones. In analog networks, audible tones generated by the network provide the call progress indications to the user. Different tones allow the human ear to interpret the progress of the call. On digital networks (such as PBX or ISDN), the network may send indication messages to the phone to indicate the status of the call, and the phone may generate most tones locally, driven by those messages.

Stands for 'Dump The Motherfucker Already'. From Dan Savage's 'Savage Love' column. It's advice given to someone complaining about a significant other's repellent behaviour. Often given, seldom taken. Concise, if not tactful, it's often a shock to the complainant, who might not be able to look at the situation objectivelly and see how bad it's gotten.
Should be used either when a person keeps repeating the same complaints over and over again and seems unhappy in the relationship and unwilling to do anything about it, or when anyone can see at a glance that it's a toxic, if not abusive, relationship.
(a)
Lindsey: "Aargh, I'm so frustrated with Jon, he never calls when he says he will and keeps telling me about what other girls are hot! What should I do???"
Rachel: "Well, considering you've been doing nothing but tell me about how much you hate Jon for the past three months, you should either tell him this, or DTMFA. We're all sick of hearing it!"

(b)
Alex: "Yeah, I'd love to come hang out with you guys, but Jamie will totally lose it if I talk to another girl. Last time I went somewhere without her she locked me out of the house and wouldn't talk to me for two days."
Leighanne: What the hell? She sounds like a total psycho. You should DTMFA before she boils your bunny or something.

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.
