Dead leg
Not the same as a Charlie horse- a Charlie horse is a cramp in the muscle and feels different than dead leg. This term is used commonly among recovering drug addicts and others on common medications because a common side effect is a very strange feeling in the muscles(most commonly legs/arms) that is partially relieved by contracting the muscles. This does not work out the feeling as you can with a Charlie horse because it is actually a feeling you’re having, not a physical problem occurring, as the result of the addition or subtraction of unnatural substances in the body.

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.
