The sister-trap to the Jupiter-Singapore Paradox. It is the phenomenon where internet data-hoarders use a 100-year-old climate formula to legally claim that Miami, Florida and Phuket, Thailand share the exact same atmospheric ecosystem because they both hold the official "Am" (Tropical Monsoon) climate badge on paper. It treats a coastal city that shivers in the low 40s during every cold front and has a record low of 27°F like it is an untouchable, equatorial paradise that has never dropped below 64°F in human history.

Person A: "Bro, look at the climograph. Miami and Phuket are both ‘Köppen Am' climates. They are functionally identical."
Person B: "That is pure Phuket-Miami False Equivalence. Phuket's all-time record low is a muggy 64°F, while Miami has literally hit 27°F and had a “tropical snowstorm”. One is a permanent greenhouse, and the other is a subtropical simulation zone on a life-support system of extension cords and incandescent bulbs."

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.
