dorkwave 

When a loser or nerd waves at you, thinking he's your friend and you look away quickly pretending you did not see him. This is a very awkward moment for the nerd.
I can't believe it, I was wogging through Central Park today, and that dork Reginald from shop class saw me. Before we made eye contact, I glanced away, turning his attempt at greeting me with a hand gesture into a dorkwave. Hah, hah, I wogged in the opposite direction before he could try again!

dorkwave 

Dorkwave (dôrk’-wav)
Origin – (dork - vulgar slang for the penis) + (wav - to make a signal with an up-and-down or back-and-forth movement of the hand or an object held in the hand)

1. Wagging one's own penis after micturating to release the last few drops of urine before zipping up one's trousers.

2. The act of grasping one's own (or other's) penis whilst holding the testes with the other hand (thereby repressing them from movement), and presenting it forcefully with an undulating motion at another's face, or at an anonymous passerby. If in an aroused state, bouncing upon one's forehead is also popular. Two simultaneous dorkwaves often results in a "swordfight."
Gerald needs to perfect his dorkwave, he's always got a wet spot on the front of his trousers when he comes back from the bathroom.

Some man with a frightening look on his face just gave me a dorkwave outside of your cubicle.

dorkwave 

A dance muisc subgenre and its associated subculture that spans dance-rock, indie-techno, electro-punk, monkey-acid, boot-gazer, and any muisc that would get one called a "freak", "fag", "squid", etc.
Dorkwave is like a movement without the bother of all the meaning.

Dark Wave 

People that dress gothic industrial (example: bondage pants or straight jacket, make up both male and female, clothes colour like blue or black or white, usually long hair, hand cuffs or bondage props). Hair spikey or like a mop. NOT SATANIC!!!

Prefer music to industrial with a fusion of symphony (gothic): The Cruxshadows, The Birthday Massacre and others.

Dark Wave is not: NIN, Marilyn Manson or Covenant.
Dark Wave people would look like from "silent hill" or another industrial factory/asylum type horror theme.

Attitude: Fun "chuckle" or "lol", weird expressions like "locked and grin" style looks but keep to themselfs and treat others equally.

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.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.

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.
