A British slang term describing a boisterous and usually drink-fuelled social state/attitude where persons "larging it" or "larging it up" are loud, noisy and playing around in a good humoured but macho way.

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.
