MSPaint
A simple program that some (retards) "claim" they use to make realistic images. Mspaint can make an illusion of a real picture, but not a photo.
What they do is this:
They take an image. This is usually:
A hard to find image, so that the fact that they "made it from nothing, without reference" can be supported.
Or, an image that is usually drawn, like the Mona Lisa.
They then bring it into a digital image editing program, and use a feature called "Colour Palette Reduction".
This asks for a number of colours to reduce the image to, makes an average of the picture's colours to determine which colours to use, then, for each pixel, calculates the closest colour to use.
This makes the image look like a picture from the SNES, which had a 256ish colour palette.
The most plagued place with this is Deviantart.
You can easily identify an MSPAINT whore, as they usually repeatedly say that they did indeed do this in mspaint. Also, they usually say it took them a short amount of time (relative to how long it would take a human to produce art of that caliber from MSPAINT).
Also, for the rare few that own PSP or Photoshop, you can actually bring it into that program, and use the feature called "Count Unique Image Colours". A real MSPAINT drawing will have 1200 or less. A fake one will have some ridiculous number, like 60000.
The time required to make a picture with 60000 unique colours would take years... if not decades.

MS Paint Adventures
http://www.mspaintadventures.com is a webcomic created by Andrew Hussie. It's based off of an old style text-based adventure game, readers type in "commands" for the comic. The commands then get looked over carefully and are selected based on a rather exacting set of standards, such as whichever one seems to capture the most striking intersection between cleverness and idiocy. Or, whichever the hell one they feel like picking. The picked command is then drawn and the story continues.
The site contains 3 adventures so far, only one is actually complete. The first adventure was jail break followed by Bard Quest and Problem Sleuth which is now the main story.
This site is recommended to anyone who likes web comics and doesn't mind spending a couple of hours reading Problem Sleuth (Its that long, but a save and load is provided.)

Except from MS Paint Adventures:
You are one of the top Problem Sleuths in the city. Solicitations for your service are numerous in quantity. Compensation, adequate. It is a balmy summer evening. You are feeling particularly hard boiled tonight.
What will you do?
>Quickly retrieve arms from safe.
You've already got arms, numbnuts!

MS Paint IDE

Programmer1: Hey dude, you hear Micro$oft discontinued MS Paint?
Programmer2: Will MS Paint IDE still work??
Programmer1: I don't fucking know, probably not
Programmer2: Gah fuck what the hell am I going to program in?!?!1!!?1!one?!?!1!

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.

That ol' gal of mine drives the 12 lane freeway during the week and a John Deere on the weekends. She likes opra and the Grand Ol' Opry. I love them countrypolitan women.
