James Jamerson 

The original grand-daddy of electric bass. Even legendary Jaco Pastorius was influenced by him along with many other greats like Paul McCartney, Jack Bruce, John Entwistle, Geddy Lee ect. One of the most important factor for Motown's success, he played bass like nobody did before improvising lines, injecting soul and bringing in the groove while using nothing more than his pointer finger. It's being said he never changed strings or cleaned the frets to keep the raw sound of "sweat and dirt infested wood and steel" intact. An epitome, he was a true professionals playing whats required of bass players, that is support the song rather than being a showboat playing the so called lead bass crap which Victor Wooten, Stanley Clarke, Billy Sheehan, Bootsy Collins, Les Claypool and the likes do nowadays. Actually I like that also and never intend to take the brilliance away from these masters, yet I think James Jamerson is the one who started popular electric bass playing. Sadly, Berry Gordy exploited him and he was not able to adapt to the fast changing needs of the music industry leading an obscured life uncredited for all the greatness he deserved. James departed this miserable planet in 1983 due to excessive alcoholism, but as time went by his genius was discovered and even a documentary was made on him and the Funk Brothers (the Motown band of the 60s). Today he is considered one of the greatest bassists who ever lived. Respect & RIP JJ.

Jumpers in the door 

U.S. Army Airborne slang for the phenomenon in which one has to shit so badly it could blow at any moment.

Having 'Jumpers in the door' is an emergency situation usually characterized by a frantic race to the toilet, and in which if a bathroom facility is not located immediately a huge mess in one's underwear could occur.

The actual phrase is coined after a chalk of U.S. Army paratroopers awaiting the green light during an Airborne operation, so they may exit the aircraft -- particularly the number 1 jumper who is waiting directly in front of the door for the light to change.

The civilian equivalent of this expression are, Turtlehead poking our, or TTF - Turd Touching Fabric
Dude #1, "Hey man, why are you walking like that? Where are you going in such a hurry??"

Dude #2, "Can't talk right now bro, got Jumpers in the door.."

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.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.

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.
