Erophic
Erophic (adj.) (eh-ROH-fik)
Meaning: – Describing love, devotion, or longing between men, often with a sense of fate, myth, or poetic tragedy. Comparable to sapphic for women.
Having an affinity for or experiencing deep, romantic love between men.
Describing devotion, longing, or passion between male lovers, often in a poetic, mythic, or historical context.
A term akin to "sapphic," used to describe literature, art, and storytelling focused on male-male love, particularly with themes of fate, tragedy, and enduring affection.
Etymology & Creation:
The word Erophic is derived from:
"Ero-" → From Eros (Ἔρως), the Greek god of love and desire.
"-phic" → From -philic (Greek -φιλικός), meaning “having an affinity for” or "deeply loving."
Thus, "Erophic" literally conveys "deeply loving in an Eros-like way," making it a direct parallel to "sapphic" for male love.

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.
