Quantoretta

What is now incorrectly termed "dark matter" is actually a three-dimensional field of particles called quantoretta (plural). Each individual particle is called a quantoretto, the smallest unit of Universal matter, which is electromagnetic (among other unknown, yet-to-be-determined forces) in nature.

Quantoretta are the entities that allow communication across the Universe to be orders of magnitude faster than the speed of light.

Coined in 2001 by William Dean A. Garner in an unpublished novel.
Quantoretta can be harnessed to "see" trillions of light years into the Universe, and allow space travel from Earth.

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.
