The act of wearing clear, unassuming, reading-style glasses when they are not necessary for sight or fashion, but as a disguise in public situations. The phrase is based on the DC comics superhero Clark Kent/Superman who masks his secret identity with a combination of glasses (e.g. perceived weakness) and the facade of a bumbling personality.
Yesterday I caught John kenting downtown near his homicidal ex-girlfriend's place of employment; I did a double-take since I had never seen him wear glasses before.
High school drop-out, classical music lover, collector of antique clocks, wearer of Zegna suits and twenty-fourth Prime Minister of Australia between 1991 and 1996. He came to prominence as the reformist Treasurer in the Hawke government, and is remembered for both his many legislative achievements as Prime Minister, and his colourful insults.
As Prime Minister, Paul Keating was famous for his use of colourful invective, at one time memorably describing his successor, John Howard as "the little desiccated coconut."
n; A beautiful stranger, in her mid-twenties usually with reddish hair and green eyes.
She meets men at clubs and parties and they instantly fall for her, but after a few hours of talking they turn around and shes gone - just before they could get her number. No one the man asks can tell him who she was. The only thing left of her is the smell of her perfume.
Some say there is only one Keating, and she travels throughout social gatherings across the world to give hope in love to down-trodden men.
I met the most wonderful girl in the world last night.
Nice, you gonna see her again?
Can't, she turned out to be a Keating.

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.
