A statement that is presented as fact to prove a point in a discussion, usually a written discussion on the internet, but is actually unverified and may be inaccurate or untrue.

The first known usage of this term, specifically characterizing statements as fjacts, was in response to statements made by the individual with the login name "Njord" in "The Sump" message forum of a popular reef aquarium hobby board. The distinctive spelling of fjact originated from the spelling of "Njord".
"I understand that you think public education should be better funded, but is it really true that a third of all american high school graduates are functionally illiterate as you claim, or is that just another fjact?"

Buggerance Factor 

This phrase is derived from the English slang word buggerance meaning something annoying, an untimely interruption or anything else that interferes with the smooth progress of work. It is used a lot in project management where it became necessary to allow additional time for these unforeseen and unforeseeable events. Where it was not possible to allow this time against a particular element of the project, a non-specific increase in time was allowed to cover these eventualities, this became known as the Buggerance Factor.

The Buggerance Factor is there to cover the extra time needed to rectify those things, which never ever go wrong, but invariably do if you fail to allow for them. It is usually added because of a sixth sense on the part of the project manager that something unexpected is going to happen and is the factor that allows for the law of project management that states Parkinson, Murphy and Sod are alive and well and working on your project. See also Malcolm’s Law.
That Heale Malcolm has managed to wangle his way on to the next project!

That fuckwit! We'd better increase the buggerance factor in that case.

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.
