Selfer
• Selfer (noun) – A person who believes they are a professional in design, renovation, or construction, but in reality, they create complete disasters. A selfer prefers to DIY everything, ignores professionals and turns any project into a chaotic mess. Selfers think they're visionaries but they actually produce looks like something out of a horror movie.
Instead of hiring a pro, they rearrange old things, patch up broken items and call it an "upgrade".
In design: If you're ever seen a bathroom with a toilet next to the fridge, a house covered in 17 different wallpapers or chandelier hanging in the middle of a kitchen island, you've seen a selfer's work.
In life: It applies to anyone who stubbornly does things alone, refuses expert advice and ends up making things
worse.
• Selfering (verb) – The act of ignoring professionals and doing everything yourself, regardless of the consequences. Selfering is often motivated by overconfidence, stubbornness and the belief that "It can't be that hard".
The result? A disaster waiting to happen.
• Selferism (noun) – The dangerous belief that you can do everything yourself better than professionals, even when reality proves otherwise. This philosophy leads to poorly built houses, ugly interiors, broken furniture and regret.

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.
