managementship
The act of mediating a cross functional group of employees to develop or improve business processes, often mistaken, especially by the mediator, as leadership. A more intense yet less productive version of this dillusion is micromanagementship wherein even the smallest details are scrutinized, often loosing focus on what inputs should be used to achieve the desired outcome.
Managementship ruins moral of competent workers, micromanagementship decimates the moral for all but the slowest of employees, who will do whatever they are told to do. For the worst cases of misidentified leadership, drop the "p" at the end of the word and add a "t".

Managementship is facilitating a week-long kaizen event of five diverse unskilled workers to determine how to save money on purchased components with an outcome that determined 3 or more quotes should be solicited to buy all components, congratulating the team, and supporting the results.
Soliciting three quotes on a 1000 piece buy of $0.03 screws ($30.00) uses 1.5 hours overhead labor at $95/hour ($142.50) to get a price of $.02 ($20.00 total). The net loss is $132.50 to get a "lower price" and the team is congratulated for "saving money". Leadership would be demonstrated by hiring competent purchasing people and empower them to make smart decisions.

Blexas
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.

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.
