press-ganging
v. The act of forced conscription into the British navy. Used most commonly in the 19th century, as a means of crewing warships. Also known as "impressment", it was a royally sanctioned activity that started with King Edward I.
Since most men were reluctant to join the navy due to low pay and the requirement of lifetime service, groups of 'press-gangs' would go around pubs on the coast of Britain, kidnapping men and forcing them into lifetime service. Anyone found in possession of the "King's shilling" was thought to be a loyal subject, and thus a candidate for the royal navy.
The press-gangs would travel to various pubs, and drop shillings into the beer mugs of hapless victims. When the victim got to the bottom of their beer, they would find the king's shilling, and the press-gang waiting for them outside to drag them off. Fancier pubs invented the glass bottomed beer mug so that their patrons could see if there was a king's shilling in the bottom, and refuse the drink.
Press-ganging was one of the factors leading to the war of 1812. Press gangs would land on the coast of America and would "accidentally" press-gang American civilians into navy service. Over 6000 American men were kidnapped in this manner in the early 1800s.

Poor John Miller, he didn't come home - was probably a victim of press-ganging. I told him not to hang around the harbour!

E-glancing
The common practice of scan-reading your email messages. E-glancing has become more prominent due to workload and time constraints. E-glancing is facilitated by the growing popularity of PDA type devices where emails are received out of the office environment. In such circumstances, ‘E-glancing' assures a prompt response and efficient time management for busy professionals.
E-glancing also incorporates a function whereby (when reading an email) only the first few sentences of the email are actually studied by the receiver. As a result of E-glancing, emails in the business environment have become less wordy and exhibit direct evidence when calling for action i.e. incorporation of bullet points and numbering rather than long-winded explanations of entire scenarios.

Busy professionals have unwittingly developed a technique known as e-glancing to ensure they can identify critical tasks (outlined by an inundation of electronic media) in a shorter time-frame, thus rendering their response with greater efficacy.

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.
