Heraldry 

The study of the design, display, history, and regulation of coats of arms. Dates back to the 13th century but its precursors have been around for much longer.

Different countries have their own customs regarding heraldry.
Some countries such as England and Canada have heraldic authorities that regulate coats of arms. The United States has one for the military but not for civilians.
People who study heraldry are called heraldists.

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.
