Shannanigans 

When you beleive that there is deception or foul play afoot, and you want to be the one that calls it.
You stand up, point at the object/person that you believe to have been involved in the deception and yell "Shannanigans!!" as loud as you can as to attract attention.

However there is an element of risk involved. If you are wrong about the "Shannanigans" call and there is nothing sinister about the situation, you will look like a douchebag
everybody had a hearty chuckle at Jerry when he called Shannanigans on Tom, thinking that he has slept with his wife. Only to find out that he was dead wrong.

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.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.

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.
