The word operations can derive from the phrase of peacekeeping operations. Which stands for one of the 16 peacekeeping operations. I.E. India and Pakistans disputes would be one of the peace keeping operations. The way operations is used couldnt possibly mean all of the peacekeeping operations, the reason our current literature uses the word Operations with an S at the end only because there are so many. In this case the S doesnt make the word plural which would make more than one operation in this word.

Someone who can handle multiple situations in a fashion that can only be described as "Awesome, spectucular, and, above all else, awesometacular".
Usually a smooth operator is someone who tends to be "on top of things", and in is usually in control of any given situation.
If he/she isn't in control of a situation, they usually find a way to gain control of it to make it more awesome for everyone involved.
Smooth Operators are rarely in trouble, and, when they are, they can usually get out of these situations quickly, elegantly and with a zero percent chance of casualties.

A person that attempts to have sex with as many women as possible, while, at the same time, trying to keep it a secret from each woman. In his head O.S thinks that the illusion will last, however, that is not the case. Often most of these women know each other. If your friend is an O.S, best thing to do is let it take its course. Then when the shit hits the fan, kick back, pop open a cold one and enjoy the show.

Operation Weestiwin is a global cult amongst Grade 10- 12 children, where the word Weestiti would be graffiti'd on school desks in small type. This was made successful starting in an unkown town of Ontario, and spread through Ontario like wildfire before catching on all over Canada, and eventually breaking through to the world. The word Weestiti is from the game Shta.

When someone intentionally pushes your buttons, and takes you there (even though it's not a place you want to get to).
When white people pretend to be well-intentioned (possibly while giving backhanded compliments), yet repeatedly over-step boundaries or do microaggressions intentionally until you snap. Then, they act all innocent and wonder what happened, because it was a relatively small thing they eventually did that caused you to go there.
It is a compound of multiple transgressions. Someone could do the same thing many times, or multiple different things, consecutively. An example would be centering themselves, then gaslighting, then white-splaining and victim-blaming, whatabouting, and any other microaggressions or transgressions done until the Black person in the scenario has had more than enough and loses their temper.

White Woman 1: "(Black Woman 1) completely went off on me after I touched her hair. I just don't understand it. I don't know why she's so angry. She has a new hairstyle every week! I was giving her a compliment; It's not like I was trying to hurt her or anything. (White Woman 2) and I touch each other's hair all the time."
Black Woman 2: (Black Woman 1) politely asked you to stop doing that at least 10 times. I was there. You pulled an elevator operator on her.
