quae
noun / verb
A distinguished, pleasurable ache of attraction—usually toward a fictional character or idealized person—that forms rapidly and feels intoxicating at first, then turns faintly sour as it becomes clear it can never be fulfilled. A quae is driven by imagined intimacy, projected personality, and the quiet hope that the object of desire would want you back if they could truly see how deeply they’ve affected you.
verb: to fall into this kind of ache; to obsessively long for a fantasy version of someone while knowing it cannot be returned.

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.

That ol' gal of mine drives the 12 lane freeway during the week and a John Deere on the weekends. She likes opra and the Grand Ol' Opry. I love them countrypolitan women.
