(n) The result of years of routine masturbation due to an inability to get laid. The exact same finger placement coupled with the strength of grasp during climax causes minor divets to form over time; thereby making the shaft resemble a full gherkin in all but color.
(adj) A complete nerd suffering from the above condition. (See also incel).
“Dude, I need a woman in my life”.
“I hear that. How’s your pickledick treating you, btw?”
“It’s aiight. Hurts sometimes though”
“Try using some Jergens for your gherkin, man. Stop with the friggin dry rub.”
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.
