On the Dime 

Descriptive phrase that usually refers to a person, but could also be in reference to place or thing. A positive, complimentary phrase meaning something is cool, cutting edge, intelligent, or otherwise in the know. Stems from the idea that most people don't know which president is on the dime, so those who do are pretty hip.

Similar to knowing "what time it is!"
1.) "Yo, that girl is on the dime! You gotta introduce me some time!"

2.) "That club used to be on the dime, but no one goes there any more."

3.) "Anyone who's on the dime will tell you that my band rocks the house every night!"

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.
