rubber duck debugging
This is when a programmer debugs his/her code by reading it out loud to an acutal rubber duck sitting on the desk.
First you need to obtain a rubber duck (bathtub variety)
Secondly you should place the rubber duck on the desk and inform it you are just going to go over some code with it, if that's all right.
Then you explain to the duck what your code is supposed to do, and then go into detail and explain your code line by line
Lastly at some point you will tell the duck what you are doing next and then realise that that is not in fact what you are actually doing. The duck will sit there serenely, happy in the knowledge that it has helped you on your way.

Adam: Hey Joe, could you help me with the debugging of this code, I have no idea what's wrong.
Joe: Here, take this rubber duck, and try some rubber duck debugging.
Adam: Holy shit, that actually worked, thanks.

debugging
When someone you are talking to is critiquing elements (you provide) of the conversation:
1. with their friend who is listening at the same time.
or
2. in their head as a mental note which results in a period of silence and delayed response.
Note: The critiquing must occur during the conversation and not after, as that is termed as logging instead. Critiquing before is remote judging.

You to Person A: Hey man stop debugging me...

You to Person A: Hey there, Mr. Brown-Shoes! How about that local sports team!
Person A (thinks): Oh my god, this guy sounds nothing like Mr Burns.

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.
