Thigh Pop Town
A college town or suburban community in which the male population has collectively abandoned conventional shorts in favor of increasingly microscopic athletic garments known as thigh bangers.
In Thigh Pop Town, exposed thighs are not considered unusual, provocative, or even particularly noteworthy. They are simply part of the local landscape, alongside coffee shops, pickup trucks, golf courses, sports bars, and overpriced athleisure retailers.
The phenomenon is particularly pronounced in warm-weather college towns, where the combination of gym culture, recreational sports, and casual dress has rendered the seven-inch inseam practically extinct.
Defining characteristics:
* Coffee shops routinely contain multiple tables of dudes wearing three-to-five-inch athletic shorts.
* A typical outfit consists of an oversized T-shirt, thigh bangers, crew socks, expensive sneakers, and a backward baseball cap.
* Shorts are worn year-round, including during weather that would ordinarily warrant pants.
* Local retailers can charge $68 for approximately six ounces of fabric without encountering meaningful consumer resistance.
* Sitting down in public frequently results in an involuntary thigh deployment.
* Residents have become so accustomed to the fashion that nobody remembers when shorts used to reach the knees.
Unofficial municipal motto:
“May your thighs pop.”

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.
