Virus Dodging
A desirable behaviour. Going out of your way to avoid being close to people. In the olden days (prior to the COVID19-era), it would have been seen as rude to cross the street to avoid being close to a person. There was a risk that you’d be perceived as a snob, or as a racist, or intolerant in some way of the person you were avoiding. However, in the COVID19-era and beyond, it is the best thing you can do! And it’s a bonus that no one can accuse you of being rude.
I was on my morning walk to keep me sane during the “self-isolation” period when I saw Chatty Cathy walking towards me. I crossed the street. At first, she looked a bit sad but then I hollered “it’s not you, it’s just that I’m virus dodging!”

Doddington
Doddington is located inbetween the inbred town of Chatteris and the cat loving society of Wimblington. It has a hospital which works less days than a man on the doll from Manchester and is most famous for the fact that the only pubs in the village are 20 feet apart. In the centre of the village is a clocktower built in 1897 in commemoration of the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria, which when drink driving home from the two pubs is a pain in the arse to miss. The inhabitants love a good moan which includes how much Doddington is a shit-hole and want to move yet are sucked in to stay because its boredom is enjoyable and they're miserable bastards. It is most famous for the fact that the only pubs in the village are 20 feet apart. It also has one shop which sells goods cheaper than Wimblington's making it a bargain for the locals and one less thing to moan about.
'I like imbreds and cats, I think I may move to Doddington.'
Pascal: 'Hey Jimmy, did your mum find a house to move to?'
Jimmy: 'Nope, we decided to stay here because we love a good moan.'

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.
